The Banks of the Severn, near Winterdyne

Major Francis Gresley

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a natural landscape seen through a circular frame. Trees with dark branches and leaves are close to us on both sides, with a body of water reflecting light further back. In the distance, there are hills that blend into the sky. The colors are soft sepia tones, creating a vintage feel.
