The focal points of this picture are the figures at the edge of the river. Sketched in pure direct watercolour at lightning speed there is movement and spontaneity. The river flowing through the valley draws the eye to the buildings at the foot of the mountains rising in the background. Simple colour washes with a limited palette painted to good effect.
