About MeThe subject of this late painting by Peploe is thought to be the River Earn in Perthshire. Like Paul Cézanne, S.J. Peploe used colour architecturally, balancing mass against mass. In his mature work, dry paint was applied thickly in broad strokes, to describe forms in an almost sculptural manner.
