About this work

This painting shows a rocky river rushing under a crumbling stone bridge. The water looks rough, with white foam swirling around the boulders. In the background, hills roll into a cloudy sky, and a few bare trees stand near the bridge’s arches. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, almost like the artist painted it outside. The colors are muted—greys, browns, and soft blues—giving it a cool, misty feel. If you like this, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like it.
