Landscape with River: Moonlight is a 1825 watercolor by Francis Oliver Finch, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a serene landscape at night. A river runs through the center, reflecting the moon's light. Trees and bushes line the riverbanks, with some large rocks in the foreground. The sky is cloudy, with the moon shining through. The painting's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. The artist's attention to detail in the foliage and rocks adds to the overall sense of realism.
