Crossing the Brook is a 1850 watercolor by Dodgson, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour painting depicts a serene landscape scene, with a woman and a child crossing a brook. The woman, dressed in a blue top and red skirt, holds the child's hand as they navigate the rocky terrain. In the background, trees and hills are visible, creating a sense of depth and tranquility. The painting's use of soft colours and gentle brushstrokes adds to its peaceful atmosphere. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the way the light reflects off the water and the textures of the rocks and trees.
