This painting shows a quiet, misty valley with rounded hills and jagged peaks in the distance. The colors are soft—mostly pale blues, grays, and whites—giving it a cool, foggy feel. A narrow river winds through the scene, and rocks sit scattered along its banks. The artist used loose, sketchy strokes to suggest texture, especially on the hills and water. It looks like they worked quickly, letting the colors blend naturally. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
