Landscape with trees is a 1780 watercolor by Francis James Sarjent, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet countryside scene with three people standing under trees. One person is pointing toward a distant building with columns, while two small dogs sit nearby. The landscape is soft and hazy, with rolling hills and a calm body of water in the foreground. The artist used light washes of color to create a gentle, dreamy effect. The trees frame the scene like a window, drawing your eye toward the building in the far distance. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like it.
Francis James Sargent made quiet, careful watercolours of London and its edges in the late 1700s, when artists often walked out from the city to sketch fields and distant spires.
