Late 19th/Early 20th Century European Impressionist River Landscape

This is a horizontal oil-on-canvas or oil-on-board painting depicting a serene river landscape at dusk or under an overcast sky. The composition features a wide body of water reflecting the sky, flanked by a dark, grassy embankment in the foreground and a cluster of low-lying buildings and trees in the distance. The style is notably Impressionistic, characterized by loose, textured brushwork and a muted, tonalist color palette of deep greens, grays, and soft blues. The sky is filled with voluminous clouds rendered in varied shades of white and gray, suggesting a fleeting atmospheric quality. The painting is housed in a substantial, tiered gilt-wood or silver-leafed frame that displays a molded profile and visible age. The frame shows characteristic signs of wear, including minor scuffing, loss of finish on the raised edges, and an accumulation of dust in the deeper recesses, which authenticates its age. There is a small orange circular sticker on the lower left of the frame, likely a previous auction or inventory tag. The craftsmanship of the painting indicates a practiced hand, with particular attention to the play of light on the water's surface. Estimates for this piece suggest it was created during the late 19th to early 20th century. While a signature is not clearly visible in the provided image, the execution suggests a European origin, possibly British or Dutch, reflecting the popular landscape traditions of the late Victorian or Edwardian eras.
