Impressionist landscape painting by the Polish painter Mecislas de Rakowski from 1925.
The work of the Polish artist De Rakowski unfolds into a harmonious landscape composition characterized by the aesthetics of Impressionism. The tranquil lake, flanked by lush greenery and a distant country house, reflects the light of the sky in delicate colors. The impasto brushstrokes and the fine sense of color and atmosphere give the work a unique depth.
