Provenance: Private collection, Phoenix, Arizona; reportedly acquired through a private sale in the early 1990s. Earlier history was not documented. Visual Description: A luminous Impressionist-inspired landscape depicting a row of tall, slender poplars rising from a lush riverbank beneath a vivid lavender-blue sky. Soft clouds tinged in pink, cream, and yellow drift across the upper portion, while a glow of sunset light warms the horizon. The trees are built up in strokes of deep green, blue, and gold, with a rounder leafy tree standing at the right and gentle hills receding into the distance. Below, the still river mirrors the trees and sky in shimmering horizontal dabs of green, violet, pink, and yellow, bordered by a bright green bank at the lower right. Rendered in the Impressionist style of Claude Monet, the painting emphasizes atmospheric light, reflections on water, and vibrant broken color, recalling the artist’s celebrated series of poplars along the river Epte. This composition reflects stylistic elements commonly associated with major figures in modern and contemporary art.
