About this work

This painting shows a wide, flat landscape with a river cutting through it. People are scattered along the riverbank—some wading, some walking. In the distance, there are trees, hills, and a few buildings. The colors are soft and warm, with lots of yellows, greens, and browns. The artist signed it in the corner with a tiny mark. The scene looks calm, like a quiet day by the water. Look up Temple, John Alexander next to see more of his work.
