Small, charming panel by the romantic-realistic landscape painter François ("Franz") Leopold De Vadder (1862-1936). He received his training at the academy in Antwerp, and proved to be a master at creating atmosphere, both in his landscapes and in his navies. Went repeatedly to Paris where he was in contact with G. Courbet. Received several important awards and medals. One of his pupils was Henri van de Velde. In the second half of his life he mainly painted the Antwerp Kempen, and he was considered to belong to the Kalmhout school. His work can be found, among others, in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels and Antwerp
