About the piece
This mid-19th-century watercolor by David Cox Jr. captures the raw, atmospheric beauty of the Welsh highlands. A torrential mountain stream winds through a rocky valley, set against a backdrop of mist-shrouded peaks that exemplify the Romantic era's fascination with the sublime landscape and shifting weather patterns.
