About the piece
Created in 1832, this masterful watercolor by David Cox is a quintessential example of the British landscape tradition. 'On the Wye' depicts the rolling hills and quiet river of the Wye Valley, brought to life through Cox's signature loose, expressive brushwork that perfectly captures the sense of light and movement in the wind-swept trees. The muted earth tones and pale blue sky create a serene and timeless atmosphere that complements a wide range of interior styles.
