This tranquil landscape painting captures a tranquil riverbank set against rugged rocky outcrops and towering mountain peaks in the background. Executed in rich oil paint with textured impasto brushwork, the piece highlights luminous light reflections across the water and surrounding autumn foliage. The work is signed "JACOBI" in the lower right corner. Benjamin Jacobus Davis (1933–2008), who frequently signed his works under the pseudonym Jacobi, was a South African painter renowned for his atmospheric landscapes, seascapes, and coastal scenes. His signature style utilizes heavy impasto textures and expressive brushwork to capture the natural light and dramatic topography of the South African countryside and coastlines.
The painting is in good overall vintage condition with light, age-appropriate surface wear. Subtle vertical water/liquid drip streaks are present across the central sky area, visible upon close inspection under direct light. The paint layer remains stable with fine craquelure in localized areas. Framed in a decorative silvered border displaying minor scuffing along the edges. Dimensions: 87.5 cm (L) x 56 cm (H)
