Mountain River is a 1840 ink by Alexandre Calame, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet river winding through a forest. Trees line both banks, their branches thick and shadowy. In the distance, mountains rise under a cloudy sky, with a faint glow near the horizon. The artist used fine lines to show light and water, making the scene feel peaceful. The dark trees contrast with the lighter sky, creating depth. Look up etching to see how artists like this one carve images into metal.
