Horstead Mill on the River Bure, Norfolk

James Bulwer

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a wide perspective over a pastoral scene. Foliage dominates the horizon line separating the sky from the land and water below. There are buildings, including a large white structure with gable-ended roofs, along the horizon. The soft watercolor brushstrokes blend colors to create a serene atmosphere. The color palette includes greens, oranges, pastels, and subtle reflections on the water. The scene captures the stillness of the waterway and the open sky above.
