Soir

20th-century Belgian school oil painting on wooden panel, signed Gustave de Keukelaere (1881-1950) in the lower right and entitled Soir (Evening) by way of a plaque fixed on the lower horizontal edge of the frame. The work has texture to the touch.

An Impressionist landscape imbued with emotion, featuring energetic brushstrokes (potentially employing the knife technique) and rich textures in specific areas. This marine view almost transforms into a monochrome composition due to the mirror effect between the sky and sea, separated by a sharp horizon line. The narrow, minimalist wooden frame complements the geometry of the scene and its color palette.
