BELGIAN SCHOOL 19th century Winter Twilight Landscape with Millhouse and Skaters Oil on canvas Oil painting depicts a rustic wooden mill or cabin at the edge of a frozen pond at dusk, smoke curling from its chimney against a glowing orange sunset sky. Bare winter trees frame the scene on the left, while small figures; some skating, others walking along the snowy bank. The painting is signed "J.E. Joors" in the lower left. The Joors name is associated with a family of Belgian painters active in the second half of the 19th century, the best-documented of whom is Eugene Joors (1850–1910), known for genre and figure subjects; "J.E. Joors" may represent a variant signature or a related, less-documented member of the same circle. Framed. 14 x 20 inches; frame: 23 x 28.5 inches $350-450
