Boys rowing a boat is a 1900 watercolor by Henry Scott Tuke, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This small painting shows a rowboat on calm water with four figures inside. The colors are soft and muted—mostly blues, whites, and a little red. The brushstrokes are loose, giving it a sketchy, quick feel. The boat is simple, with no fancy details, and the figures look relaxed. The water around it is barely textured, almost like a smooth wash of paint. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
