Uytterschaut’s watercolors were praised by his colleague Fernand Khnopff as “clever and sparkling,” a description that applies perfectly to this winter landscape. The fresh green below the bare trees signals the coming spring.

Uytterschaut studied technical drawing and landscape painting at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels. He was a member of the realist artist association La Chrysalide and the Royal Society of Belgian Watercolorists.
