1860
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
River Scene is a 1860 watercolor by Edward Lear, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a serene river scene. The river flows from the left side of the painting, curving slightly as it goes. On the far side of the river, there's a small building that looks like a tower or a fort. In the foreground, there are a few goats and a person standing on the riverbank. The person is wearing a long coat and a hat, and they're looking out at the river. The painting has a peaceful, calm atmosphere. The colors are muted, with shades of brown and green dominating the scene. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. If you like this painting, you might also enjoy learning about the Impressionism movement.
