"The River Tweed near Kelso" is a watercolor painting by Thomas Girtin, a prominent English artist known for his contributions to the development of watercolor painting. Created in 1800, the artwork captures the serenity of the River Tweed, a major river in the Scottish Borders, with the bridge at Kelso visible in the background. The composition features a sense of depth and light, characteristic of Girtin's romantic style.
