An impressionistic oil painting of the Jonkershoek Mountains, a prominent part of the Boland Mountain Range near Stellenbosch in the Western Cape. The foreground features a rocky hillside with vibrant red, orange, and green vegetation. In the midground, dark, jagged mountain peaks rise against a sky filled with dynamic clouds in shades of blue, gray, and pink. A lone tree stands on the right side of the hillside. Literature: Joyce Newton Thompson. (circa 1951) Gwelo Goodman: South African Artist, London: George Allen & Unwin Ltd. Page 145, number 5

"Our guest sat down to dinner, eyes drawn to the painting before him—familiar, yet changed. Only later did he realise: it once hung in his family home. Reframed and rerouted through auction, it had found its way to our dining room. For one fleeting evening, past and present touched. "
