Group of figures with mountains in the background is a 1850 watercolor by Unknown, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows three people by a rocky shoreline. Two stand talking—one wears a dark coat and hat, the other a green jacket and light scarf. The third sits on the rocks in a yellowish jacket, looking down. Behind them, dark mountains rise under a cloudy sky, with a strip of water between. The brushstrokes are loose, letting the colors blend softly. The artist focused on light and shadow to give shape to the figures and landscape.
