This black-and-white scene shows a quiet river winding through a forest. Tall, skinny trees line the banks, their branches reaching into a cloudy sky. In the distance, a small house sits near the water, with rolling hills fading into the horizon. The artist used soft shading to show depth, making the trees and sky look misty. This style was common in early photography to mimic hand-drawn landscapes. Next, check out Romanticism to see how artists used nature to express emotion.
