This photo shows a quiet fountain in a park. The water is still, with a smooth surface reflecting the overcast sky. A stone ledge surrounds the basin, and a few people sit on the edge, their backs turned. In the distance, a tall column and some buildings fade into the misty air. The soft light makes everything look muted, like a calm day. The artist used simple shapes and shadows to keep it peaceful. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
