A charming Early 20th Century landscape painting, executed in gouache on paper backed onto panel and presented in an ornate period gilt-effect frame.

The scene depicts a picturesque river cascading over rocks, surrounded by lush woodland with a winding path to the foreground and atmospheric mountains rising in the distance. The artist has used rich greens and earthy tones against a soft blue sky, creating a peaceful and highly decorative traditional landscape.

The substantial frame features attractive floral and scrolling relief decoration, complementing the period character of the work beautifully.
