This painting shows a quiet riverbank scene. Two people sit near a small boat on the shore, while a cow and sheep graze by the water. Tall trees line the river, and hills fade into the distance under a soft sky. The artist used light washes of color to keep the scene calm and natural. The brushstrokes are loose, letting the colors blend softly. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
