Lot Essay

In the present lot the artist has captured the special intimate atmosphere of a forest lane in the early morning, by letting part of the trees being cut off by the edges of the composition and let the silvery morning light filter through the trees along the path.

The authenticity has been kindly confirmed by Drs Guido de Werd after firsthand examination.
