Landscape is a 1865 watercolor by Francis Abel William Taylor Armstrong, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet river scene with trees on both sides. The water is calm, and the banks are rocky. A person sits on the far bank, small and still. The colors are soft—greens, browns, and muted blues—with light brushing strokes. The artist used watercolor, which keeps the look loose and natural. The trees and hills fade into the distance, giving a sense of depth. If you like this style, look up Impressionism next.
