Louis Aston Knight (1873–1948) Original Oil Painting on Panel – Coastal / River Landscape

Beautiful original oil on panel by noted American-born Impressionist painter Louis Aston Knight (1873–1948). The work depicts a tranquil waterside landscape rendered in Knight’s characteristic soft, atmospheric palette, with pale blue-gray water, a distant shoreline, and loosely handled reflections and highlights across the surface.

Signed “Aston Knight” at the lower right.

A particularly appealing small-format work with excellent provenance, having descended through the artist’s family.

Knight became especially celebrated for his luminous river and landscape paintings, often emphasizing reflections, changing light, and quiet expanses of water. This intimate panel has a wonderfully understated quality and displays confident Impressionistic brushwork despite its compact size.
