This idyllic, tranquil landscape has a lone fisherman in his boat on the pond. The composition is a close descriptive of observed nature full of colour and light. The trees at the side of the pond have decorative foliage very rich in colour, form and full of vitality. The cattle give a sense of scale and movement. When the spectator’s eye escapes the foreground, the background, skilfully half-concealed by trees opens up to the distant hills. The beautiful blue sky creates a scintillating movement of sunshine across the landscape.
