William Manners

A charming late Victorian oil on board by William Manners (1860–1930), depicting an atmospheric evening rural landscape with two figures walking along a snow-covered country path beneath a glowing sunset sky. The composition is beautifully balanced with silhouetted trees, winter vegetation, distant cottages and birds in flight, capturing the quiet mood of the British countryside.

The painting is signed and dated “1886” in the lower right corner and is presented in an attractive ornate gilt frame which complements the period character of the work.

The delicate handling of light and muted winter palette create a peaceful and highly decorative scene, making it an excellent addition to any collection of Victorian British landscapes.
