About this work

This painting shows a quiet river scene with trees in the foreground and a castle in the background. The water is calm, reflecting the sky, while the trees are dark and leafy. The castle sits on a hill, with towers and walls visible through the branches. The brushwork is loose and watery, giving it a soft, dreamy look. The sky is light with faint clouds, and the whole scene feels peaceful. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more watercolors like this.
