The River Dargle, County Wicklow is a 1888 unspecified by William Howis senior, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
The painting depicts a serene landscape, with a river flowing gently through the center. The river is flanked by trees and rocks, creating a sense of depth and texture. The colors are muted, with shades of green, brown, and gray dominating the palette. A closer look reveals the subtle play of light and shadow on the water's surface, creating a sense of movement and life. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, adding to the overall sense of energy and vitality in the scene. For more works that explore the interplay of light and shadow, consider looking into the technique of chiaroscuro.
William Howis senior (1804–1882) was an artist, born in Waterford.
