Jordan is a 1825 watercolor by Mary Parker, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting is a landscape of a river, with trees and bushes on its banks. The river flows from the center of the image to the right, with a few trees and bushes on its banks. In the background, there are hills and a blue sky with white clouds. The painting is done in watercolor, with soft colors and gentle brushstrokes. The overall effect is one of serenity and calmness.
