This sketch shows rolling hills, a river winding through a valley, and a quiet landscape under a soft sky. The watercolor is loose and sketchy, with muted grays and blues blending into the distance. Trees and bushes dot the hills, and the light looks gentle, like a calm afternoon. The artist, Collier, signed and dated it 1881. This style of quick, natural-looking brushwork fits with how artists in the late 1800s tried to capture light and mood. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
