A River in Ireland

Francis Seymour Haden

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a landscape with a calm river and a serene woodland scene. The horizon is high, beyond a cluster of trees. The etching style features detailed textures in the foliage and water. The color palette is sepia-toned. Near the viewer, the riverbank is lush with grass, transitioning into a forest across the water. A wooden fence is visible to the right. In the distance, more trees blend into the background to create a harmonious landscape view.
