Landscape with Roman Arch is a 1836 watercolor by William Cowen, a Romanesque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a large Roman arch in the middle of a landscape. The arch is made of stone and has a flat top. It's surrounded by trees, hills, and mountains in the background. There are people and animals walking on a road that goes under the arch. The painting is done in watercolour, which gives it a soft and dreamy look. The colours are muted, with lots of greens and browns. The artist has used light and shadow to create depth and texture in the painting.
