Sunlight Filtering through Trees along the River Sihl

Conrad Gessner

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a view of a river winding through a lush green landscape. A cascade creates ripples in the river and trees with impressionistic brushstrokes form a canopy overhead. The color palette consists mainly of greens and browns, with hints of blue from the river. In the distance, several cattle stand in the water, and closer by, a figure walks with dogs along a sunlit path.
