Figures Setting Out in Canoes from a Palm Grove (Wady Feiran) is a 1884 by Edward Lear, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting is called Figures Setting Out in Canoes from a Palm Grove. It was made by Edward Lear in 1884 or 1885. The artist used gray and black wash on card to create this work, which is a type of landscape painting. Lear's use of simple materials like wash on card is interesting because it shows he didn't need a lot of colors to make a nice picture. You can learn more about this style by looking into Impressionism.
Edward Lear (12 May 1812 – 29 January 1888) was an English artist, illustrator, musician, author and poet, who is known mostly for his literary nonsense in poetry and prose and especially his limericks, a form he popularised but which term he never used.
