On the Glaslyn River

Frederick William Hayes 1848 - 1918

Summary

Landscape painting depicting a view along the calm Glaslyn River from the shallows near a rocky left bank. Gentle fields extend from the bank opposite, with rugged hills behind. The river is highly reflective, mirroring the shrubs and bushes on the right-hand bank. The river contains a cluster of oxide red moss-covered stones, creating the focal point of the image. The paintwork in the background is textured, reinforcing the rugged-nature of the hills.
