A sweeping panorama of a city is visible from an elevated vantage point. Bridges cross a river and boats are evident. The river occupies the right side of the composition and the curving near bank of the river dominates the left side of the work.

Mountain village among pines and white clouds

Artist

Artist Unknown, China

Physical Description

This fan painting shows a mountain village teeming with activity. The peaceful scene provides a glimpse at daily life, depicting villagers pushing carts of goods and traveling into and out of town, sometimes on horseback. The eye follows this lively village of white buildings and tan roofs as it weaves its way up the mountain slope to what appears to be a royal dwelling or city center capped with emerald green rooftops and enveloped by rolling white clouds.

Spring Landscape

Nakanishi Kôseki

Physical Description

A lone man walks along a mountain path on the bottom left, hunched over perhaps under a load he carries. He seems to be approaching a hut along the water's edge partially blocked from the viewer by tall trees. The path continues to wind up the mountain, and spoked circular designs indicate what may be a series of bridges. Lines of calligraphy and seals are in the upper left corner.

Title

View of a River Town with a Bridge

Artist

Jan van Goyen

Physical Description

This small sketch presents a view along a waterway that passes beneath a double-arched bridge. The triangular sail of a small boat is visible just before the bridge, moored to the quai next to some sheds. A tall church with a central steeple rises on the right bank in the foreground, and two other tall buildings punctuate the middle ground and distance. The chimneys and rooflines of humbler dwellings appear on the left bank. Despite the urban setting, only a few figures may be glimpsed, including a man crossing the bridge on horseback.

The Thames

Artist

Physical Description

This work portrays a view across a river, whose surface is dotted with shipping. Drawn from a very high vantage point, a roadway is seen through a screen of nearly leafless trees at the bottom of the image; in the distance the far bank of the shore is congested with buildings, some towers--particularly a large one to the right of center--and smoke blowing away and to the right from the viewer can be seen.

Bridge over a Waterfall

Artist

Eugène Cicéri

Physical Description

A watercolor image of a bridge over a small mountain waterfall. The focal point of the image is the bridge, a bit off-center, that connects two small mountains that split at the point of a river. The waterfall flows down a short ways into a low, wide river. At its bank there is a dark figure, possibly a man standing by the water. Over the bridge in the background are tall and far away mountains covered in trees, they are painted in a way to seem like they are blanketed in fog.
