This painting shows a quiet scene of a sunset over water. Tall, dark trees stand on the right side, their branches reflected in the calm pool below. The sky is a soft, pale wash, and the light glows faintly on the water’s surface. The artist used watercolor to capture the gentle play of light and shadow. The trees look almost three-dimensional, with careful strokes to show their texture. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
