On the Lledr is a 1864 oil by Edmund Marriner Gill, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting shows a serene landscape with a river flowing through it. The river is surrounded by large rocks and trees, with a small waterfall in the distance. A person is walking along the riverbank, accompanied by a dog. The painting's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. The artist's attention to detail in the natural surroundings is impressive, from the texture of the rocks to the foliage of the trees. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's techniques, you might want to look into the use of glazing.
Edmund Marriner Gill (1820–1894) was an English landscape painter favouring waterfalls.
