About this work

This watercolor shows a quiet river flowing past a small stone bridge. Behind it, a big old church with tall windows stands in a grassy field. Trees line the riverbank, their leaves painted in soft greens and blues. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, letting the light and water blend together. This style was common in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Look up Impressionism to see more paintings like this.
