This painting shows a wide river scene in Patna, India. The water glows in soft pinks and blues under a bright sky. Boats dot the river, small and dark. The artist painted this in 1888 while working in India’s Medical Service. He used quick brushstrokes to catch light and shadow on the water. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this work in person.
