This work is characteristic of the work of Henri Marcette, a 19th-century Belgian landscape painter, renowned for his wooded landscapes and atmospheric compositions, often inspired by the Ardennes region. The balanced and sensitive scene demonstrates a fine mastery of drawing and wash, with a nuanced treatment of the vegetation and water. Signed lower left: H. Marcette. Period: 19th century.
