This finely painted landscape depicts a quiet stream winding through the wooded surroundings of the New Forest. Frederick Golden Short has rendered the trees, foliage, grasses and reflections in the water with remarkable attention to detail.
The subtle play of light through the trees and the carefully balanced natural colours create a convincing sense of depth and atmosphere. Delicate reflections animate the surface of the stream, while the detailed vegetation along its banks gives the composition a rich and highly naturalistic character.
A peaceful and atmospheric example of English landscape painting from the beginning of the 20th century. Presented in a gilt frame.
