This painting shows a misty mountain range with a snow-capped peak in the distance. Below, a winding river cuts through rolling hills and rocky outcrops. The colors are muted—soft grays, browns, and whites—with just a hint of green in the grassy foreground. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, giving the scene a dreamy, fleeting feel. This style was common in watercolors of the time. Next, look up Romanticism to see how artists used nature to express big emotions.
