On the Loire: Morning

About this work

This painting shows a calm river with a small stone bridge in the distance. On the banks, a few people sit under trees, while others walk along the path. The colors are soft—light blues and greens—with loose, sketchy brushstrokes that make the scene feel quick and fresh. The artist used watercolor, which keeps the colors light and airy. The brushstrokes look hurried, like they were painted outside in natural light. Look up Sir Alfred East next to see more of his landscapes.
