'A little brook in Essex' by Sir George Clausen R.A. 1852 -1944

Clausen was an English painter of Danish parentage. In the late 1870's he visited Holland and Paris, where he came under the influence of Bastien-Lepage. Later he reverted to the habit of composing in the studio from open-air studies and developed a modified Impressionist technique.
