Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image features an aerial view of a tranquil river scene. The horizon is high in the composition, with distant trees and hills bordering it. The sky is subtly depicted with horizontal lines. The river reflects the dark shapes of the surrounding trees, while the banks converge towards the horizon. The etching has minimal yet expressive brushstrokes, hinting at texture and atmosphere. The color palette is monochromatic, creating a serene atmosphere through muted tones and a balance between light and dark created by shadows and reflections on the water.
