The painting depicts an idyllic landscape where large trees and bushes dominate the scene. We see a calm river or lake reflecting the trees and sky. The landscape appears peaceful, with subtle transitions of light and shadow, suggesting either early morning or late afternoon. The colours are soft and atmospheric, with a predominance of green and blue hues. No figures or animals are visible, enhancing the sense of calm and isolation of the place.

British Classicist Francis Towne (1739-1816) After receiving an art education, among others from the court portraitist, he began to paint for wealthy Britons. His love for landscapes drove him to take a trip to Italy, where he visited Rome and Naples. After returning, he painted for example Bridge at Narni and other themes from Devon, North Wales and the Lake District. In autumn of 1780, he travelled again to Rome, where he moved from oil paintings to watercolor, which seemed better to him. He spent most of his life in London, where he married and, unfortunately, a year later became a widower. He bequeathed his collection of watercolours to the British Museum. His works received great attention in the 1930s.
