Landscape with Rocky Stream is a 1886 watercolor by William Fettes Douglas, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet stream with smooth, rounded rocks in the foreground. The water looks shallow, and the bank slopes up to a grassy hill dotted with trees. In the distance, a few people and a horse-drawn cart sit near a small stone building. The artist used soft, blended colors to show light hitting the rocks and water. The scene feels calm and natural, almost like a sketch done outdoors. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
The watercolour titled *Landscape with Rocky Stream*, initialled and dated by the artist in 1886, depicts a natural scene featuring a rocky watercourse.
