Landscape is a 1767 watercolor by Cristall, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a lone figure standing on a rocky outcrop, looking out over a wild landscape. A river cuts through the scene, surrounded by trees and jagged mountains in the distance. The sky is partly cloudy, with patches of blue peeking through. The colors are mostly earthy browns and greens, with some cooler blues in the water and sky. The artist used soft, blended strokes to make the scene feel natural and slightly dreamy. The small human figure makes the landscape look huge and overwhelming.
