River Scene with Buildings and Tower 19th-20th century

Editor: This is "River Scene with Buildings and Tower" by Denman Waldo Ross. It's a watercolor with lovely soft tones, and it gives off this really calm, almost dreamlike quality. How do you interpret this work? Curator: I see a yearning for stillness, a quiet moment captured in watercolor. Perhaps Ross was trying to preserve a fleeting emotion, the reflection of the buildings like memories shimmering on the water’s surface. What do you think? Editor: It does feel like a memory. Thanks so much! Curator: Anytime.
