About the piece

Painted in 1888 by Richard Roland Holst, this moody landscape captures a quiet corner of a pond near Breukelen. The work utilizes a deep, earthy palette and soft brushwork to evoke the stillness of a late afternoon, with the dense foliage casting dark reflections across the water's surface.
