About this work

This serene watercolour painting, "Landscape with River and Village," presents a tranquil scene. In the foreground, a river flows gently, flanked by trees and bushes on its banks. On the far side of the river, a village is nestled among trees, with a church steeple rising above the rooftops. The sky above is a soft blend of pink, orange, and grey hues, suggesting either dawn or dusk. The artist's use of soft colours and gentle brushstrokes creates a sense of calmness, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful atmosphere of the scene.
