About this work

This watercolor shows a man in a dark coat standing with one arm raised, holding a rolled paper and a walking stick. His face is serious, and he’s dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The background is plain, with no extra details. Below it, another watercolor depicts a winding river cutting through a lush, tree-covered landscape. The scene looks calm, with soft hills and distant trees fading into the sky. If you like this peaceful river view, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
