An Extensive River Landscape

Alexander Cozens

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with various elements. There are large trees and rugged foliage in the foreground, leading to a horizon with mountains and fading landscapes. The horizon sits halfway up the image, where land meets the sky with clouds. The brushwork is detailed, capturing textures of trees and rocky terrain. The color scheme is warm sepia tones. Shadows and highlights add depth. In the distance, a small arched bridge crosses water, connecting dense trees to hills leading to the horizon.
