A dappled woodland scene depicts a stand of slender trees rising through dense summer foliage, their trunks catching patches of light in warm ochre and rust against the deep, layered greens of the surrounding canopy. At ground level, a drift of white blossom or wildflowers brightens the forest floor, adding a soft, luminous focal point to the composition. The artist's loose, textured brushwork and confident handling of colour capture the flickering, sun-dappled quality of light moving through trees. A fine example of her approach to landscapes, it was painted with the same freshness and immediacy found in her scenes of France, Tunisia, and Spain. The painting is in good overall condition and is in its original frame with a reconditioned slip. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAfter 1966, she signed her artworks simply with 'Gavrel', having eliminated her first initial.
