A luminous oil on canvas, Western landscape by William Keith, the “Dean of California painters,” depicting a quiet woodland scene along a reflective stream, bathed in the fading golden light of day. Painted with Keith’s signature blend of Luminist and Barbizon influences, the composition features monumental oaks arching above a narrow waterway, where small human figures retreat into the background—subtle reminders of man’s scale in the grandeur of nature. Signed lower right W. Keith / S.F., this work bears labels from Gump’s, Maxwell Galleries, and Christopher Queen Galleries, confirming a history with leading California dealers. It was exhibited in the Artists of the Bohemian Club show in 2014 and acquired by Al and Carol Cali from Christopher Queen Galleries. Canvas: 27 x 32 ½ in.; Frame: 37 x 43 in.
