This mid-20th-century landscape painting by French artist, Pierre Bokkelandt, captures the subdued mood of an overcast day. The figures are mere silhouettes as they walk towards a manor house - partially obscured by dense foliage. It’s a well-trod path, worn by years of use.

The trees are rendered akin to spirits from a lost realm - discernible only by a change in tone. Bokkelandt’s brushwork creates atmosphere - a masterclass in expression.

The painting is signed in the lower right and housed within a frame that’s possibly the original.
