Oxford is a 1850 watercolor by Frederick Christian Lewis, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet town nestled in a green valley. Trees line the foreground, leading your eye toward buildings in the distance. A river winds through the scene, and two tall church spires stand out against a cloudy sky. The artist used soft, blended colors to show light and shadow across the landscape. The brushstrokes are loose, giving the scene a gentle, dreamy feel. Next, explore the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
