"Wading" is a 1916 oil painting by American artist Edward Henry Potthast. The painting captures a tranquil scene of a rural landscape with two houses, a river, and a lone figure wading in the water. Potthast, known for his Impressionistic style, uses loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors to convey the atmosphere of a sunny summer day. The work exemplifies the artist's fascination with everyday life and his ability to capture the beauty of nature in an effortless manner.
