The Backs, Cambridge: Twilight Scene is a 1908 watercolor by Albert Goodwin, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet river at dusk, surrounded by bare trees and a few bushes with yellowing leaves. The water looks still, reflecting the dim light. In the distance, a large building sits behind the trees, its windows glowing softly. The artist used loose, soft brushstrokes to suggest movement in the water and leaves. The colors are muted, with blues and grays dominating the scene. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
