About this work

This painting shows a misty valley with rolling hills and a lone tree on the right. The sky is full of soft, moving clouds, and the ground looks damp and green. In the distance, a few cows graze near a small stream. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, like the artist was painting outside. The colors are muted, blending into the landscape without sharp lines. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next to see more works like this.
