Darkest tones have been restricted to a few branches and detail in a town across the lake, suggesting the late date although Collings brushstrokes do not follow the contours of his images.” -- “Charles John Collings, 1848-1931” Catalogue Raisonne by Linda Heath

The overall pastel tones and broad, open river valley view combine to produce an effect of silent and awesome beauty.” -- “Charles John Collings, 1848-1931” Catalogue Raisonne by Linda Heath

Lights glowing from three buildings on the left suggest that it is late evening and shine upon the right-hand trees. The latter evidence is some overpainting.” -- “Charles John Collings, 1848-1931” Catalogue Raisonne by Linda Heath
