The Salmon Trap 

"The Salmon Trap" is a watercolor painting by David Cox, a renowned British landscape artist who flourished in the 19th century. The painting, likely inspired by the artist's travels through the British countryside, depicts a serene mountain stream, with a wooden salmon trap built on a rocky river bank. The work is characteristic of Cox's style, known for its atmospheric light and loose, expressive brushwork. The figures in the foreground, dwarfed by the monumental landscape, add a sense of scale and human presence to the composition, creating a harmonious balance between nature and human intervention.
