Andréville
Oil on board
20 x 24 inches
A serene rural landscape by Canadian painter Thomas Keith Roberts, Andréville depicts a quiet village anchored by a white-spired church set against rolling fields and a softly layered sky. The composition is carefully balanced, drawing the eye through cultivated farmland toward the clustered buildings, while dark foreground foliage provides depth and contrast.
Roberts’ confident, expressive brushwork and harmonious palette reflect his sensitivity to light and atmosphere. Subtle tonal shifts across the fields and sky lend the scene a calm, contemplative quality, characteristic of his mature landscape work. Architectural forms are rendered with restraint, allowing the surrounding countryside to remain the emotional focus of the painting.
Andréville stands as a refined example of Roberts’ landscape work, combining structure, mood, and a lyrical interpretation of place.
