This landscape by Laura Muntz Lyall offers a lyrical view across rolling countryside, framed by a stand of slender, early-spring trees. From a wooded rise, the eye moves past vertical trunks and delicate branches into a patchwork of fields and distant hills, rendered in harmonious tones of green, mauve, ochre, and soft blue. A few small houses sit quietly in the middle distance, anchoring the pastoral scene with a sense of rural calm.

Muntz Lyall’s brushwork is energetic yet sensitive—thick, sculptural strokes ripple across the panel, creating depth and movement while allowing warm undertones of the support to glow through. The trees in the foreground rise like rhythmic columns, their bare branches etched against a sky alive with swirling passages of pale paint. Fresh greens in the foreground suggest new growth, reinforcing the feeling of early spring light returning to the land.

Although known primarily for her portraits and tender depictions of women and children, Laura Muntz Lyall brings to this landscape the same poetic sensibility—an emotional quietude, gentle atmosphere, and painterly refinement that imbue the scene with both immediacy and introspective grace.
