The Winding Stream is a 1879 watercolor by Samuel Palmer, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Two people stand in the distance near a cluster of trees, while the sky glows warm yellow and orange behind rolling hills. The artist used soft, blended colors to make the scene feel peaceful and dreamy. The light from the setting sun shines through the trees, creating a gentle glow.
