Willow
John Robert Cozens (1752-1797), aquatint and vernis mou, 1789
As dark clouds loom above, the willows on the riverbank in this landscape form a brilliant centrepiece. Their branches bend in the strong breeze, as do those of the surrounding trees and even the rushes by the water. The scene and the weather suggest that Cozens may have found inspiration for this composition close to home.
