A Welsh Landscape is a 1800 watercolor by David Cox, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a rugged mountain valley with steep cliffs and rocky slopes. A small group of people walks along a narrow path near the bottom left. The sky is partly cloudy, and the distant mountains fade into soft blue and purple hues. The artist used loose, sketchy strokes to suggest texture in the rocks and grass. The colors are muted, with earthy browns and greens dominating the scene. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
A watercolour by David Cox the elder depicts a rural Welsh scene featuring houses and a pond. The work is signed by the artist.
