Landscape with river is a 1850 watercolor by Eugène Cicéri, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet riverside scene with a rocky shore in the foreground. A lone figure walks along the water’s edge, while a few small boats sit half-buried in the sand. In the distance, a cluster of buildings and a hill rise against a dramatic sky full of swirling clouds. The artist used loose, sketchy brushstrokes to capture light and movement—especially in the sky and water. The colors are muted, with grays and whites dominating, but the clouds add a sense of mood.
