This work stands out for its atmospheric treatment and for the attention to the reflection and the depth, constituting a representative example of the English landscape painting of the turn of the century, very appreciated by its balance between direct observation of the nature and pictorial sensibility.

The lush wooded landscape is constructed through a balanced play of vertical and horizontal masses, with the tree trunks marking the spatial rhythm and the mirror of water providing depth and serenity to the scene. The brushwork is loose and vibrant, sensitively applied to capture the changing effects of natural light among the foliage, clearly in keeping with the British landscape tradition influenced by naturalism and late impressionism.
