Attr. Cornelis I Westerbeek, Dutch Landscape With Track, Figure & Dwelling

Attr. Cornelis I Westerbeek, Dutch Landscape With Track, Figure & DwellingA fine late 19th century oil on panel depicting a woman walking along a countryside track towards a rustic old building. The artist, Cornelis I Westerbeek (1844 1903) has captured the effects of light superbly well. Hes created a peaceful evening atmosphere thats very typical of his style. We also love how the landscape is comprised of layers, which increase in lightness until they fade from sight. And note how the tallest tree guides our view
