About this work

This painting shows a landscape with a river and trees. The sky is cloudy, and the colors are mostly dark greens and browns. In the foreground, there's a person standing on the riverbank, but it's hard to make out what they're doing. The painting has a lot of dark shadows, which makes it look mysterious. If you want to learn more about the artist who painted this, look up Henri Rousseau.
