L'Escaut en amont d'Anvers, le soir or An Evening[3] is an oil on canvas painting by Belgian painter Théo van Rysselberghe.

[4] In L'Escaut en amont d'Anvers, le soir, or Evening, there is a remarkable and yet pleasingly measured contrast of yellow and orange against purple and blue.

"[4] Cornelia Homburg wrote about the painting: Théo van Rysselberghe employed a rather daring, restricted color scheme in some of his compositions in order to evoke a mood.

The anchor poles and their reflection in the water provide a gentle rhythm to the composition, while the sailboat's calm path underlines the evocative atmosphere.

[The present work] has a strong yellow that comes from a moist, but sunlit afternoon, forcefully opposed to lavender and blue, and each shares a Belgian penchant for limiting the surface to very few planes.
