On the River Mole, Surrey

Alfred Rosling

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a view of a pond or waterway with calm waters reflecting the sky and foliage. Lily pads are scattered on the water's surface. A large tree is on the right, and shrubs and smaller trees frame the left side of the water. Rolling hills are visible in the distance, blending with a pale, overcast sky. A person in a white shirt and hat is bending near the water's edge, partially hidden by vegetation. The image is in sepia tones, creating a tranquil atmosphere.
