River Scene

Asher Brown Durand

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a landscape with a dirt road winding through a grassy area dotted with large rocks. A large tree with a thick trunk and sprawling branches stands on the right side of the road. Several cows walk along the road. In the background, there are more trees, hills, and mountains under a blue sky with white clouds. The scene is serene and natural. Title: River Scene Artist: Asher Brown Durand.
