The confluence of the Caledon and Orange Rivers, seen from the south-west Possibly 1777

"The Confluence of the Caledon and Orange Rivers, seen from the south-west" is a watercolor painting by Robert Jacob Gordon, a Dutch military officer and explorer, and is believed to have been created in 1777. The landscape painting depicts the meeting point of the Caledon and Orange Rivers, a prominent geographical feature in South Africa. The artwork features the confluence of the two rivers in the foreground, framed by rolling hills and a lush, green landscape. Gordon’s paintings, often incorporating meticulous details and a panoramic perspective, are considered significant examples of 18th-century landscape art and provide valuable insights into the exploration and mapping of Southern Africa during that period.
