This painting shows a quiet river scene with a single person standing midstream. The water is shallow, dotted with rocks, and the person appears to be holding something small. In the background, rolling hills and distant mountains fade into a soft, pale sky. The artist used light, watercolor washes to blend the colors of the hills and sky. The person’s figure is small, almost lost in the vastness of the landscape. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
