About the piece

Painted around 1860 by Matthijs Maris, this oil study captures a quiet brook in the woods near Oosterbeek. The work exemplifies the artist's ability to capture the interplay of light and shadow, with the bright reflections on the moving water providing a striking contrast to the deep, heavy tones of the forest floor and canopy.
