We would like to thank Mr Lechelon, author of the artist's catalogue raisonné, for confirming the authenticity of this work:
"The foreground reveals a battered, gullied land covered with undergrowth. In my opinion, it reflects the aftermath of heavy rain or river flooding. This savage spectacle of desolation is softened in the middle of the canvas by a gradual lightening, leading to a panoramic view sweeping across the countryside in the last shot, illuminated by the setting sun breaking through the clouds; like a first thought of the marvellous, luminous landscapes that Chintreuil would later paint. This beautiful painting, without artifice or animation, where nature alone takes precedence, is a wonderful expression of the artist's state of mind at the time. Michel Lechelon.
