About this work

This painting shows a hilly countryside with a river winding through it. Trees line the banks, and fields stretch out in the distance. The sky is thick with clouds, and the colors are soft and muted. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy in places. This style was common in watercolors of the time. Look up Romanticism next to see how artists used nature this way.
