About this work

This watercolor shows a misty river with a stone bridge in the distance. Boats float under the arches, and buildings rise behind them. The sky is pale, and the water looks calm but busy. The artist focused on light and shadow to make the scene feel real. The brushstrokes are loose, almost like quick sketches. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
