Village along a River Estuary in Devon is a 1798 graphite by Thomas Girtin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a small village on the banks of a river. The village is surrounded by hills, and there are several boats in the water. The sky is a light color, and the overall mood is peaceful. In the foreground, there are some animals and people, which adds to the sense of everyday life. The artist has used watercolor to create a soft, dreamy effect.
