This evocative painting features four old pollard willows standing in a row, rendered with bold, dark brushstrokes against a luminous background. The warm glow of the setting sun lends a poetic atmosphere to the composition, capturing a familiar Flemish landscape through expressive painterly gestures.
This is an early work by Jacques Delvaux, painted during his Antwerp period before his move to the South of France in the 1980s. While his later works would adopt a lighter palette, this painting reflects his roots in Flemish scenery and expressionism.
