Landscape : Cottage, Trees, a Stream and Distant Hills

William James Müller 1812 - 1845

Summary

A rustic landscape scene depicting a cottage by a rushing stream. There is a thatched half-timbered cottage in the foreground to the left, with a road passing in front of it, along which are walking two figures, a woman in a red jacket and a small boy. Large gnarled oak trees to their right overhang the stream on the right, rushing around a large boulder in its path and crossed by a rustic wooden bridge beneath the trees. In the middle distance is another cottage with a red roof amongst a group of trees, and in the far distance, a glimpse of a valley with hills beyond. There is a pale blue sky with white clouds.
