About this work

This is a quiet photo of a pond surrounded by trees. The water is still, reflecting the tall trees and a soft sky. The colors are mostly browns and grays, with a few lighter spots where the light hits the water. The artist signed it in the corner, and the title says "Merton Meadows." This photo looks like it was taken a long time ago, but it still feels peaceful. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.

About the artist

Artist

Alfred Horsley Hinton

Alfred Horsley Hinton carried a wooden camera like a second body—he lugged it up British hills, through misty valleys and mill towns, always hunting the perfect soft light over water.
