Painting of a rushing river with white rapids and a dark boulder, pine trees on a sunlit slope, and snowy mountain peaks under a blue sky.

River in the Alps

A painted mountain landscape shows a turbulent river with white rapids spilling over rocks in the lower right, and a dark boulder at its center. On the left, tall bare-trunked pines line a sunlit slope, while snow-capped peaks rise under a deep blue sky. Oil on canvas, with warm light against cool shadows.

Español: Río en los Alpes

Un paisaje pintado de montaña muestra un río turbulento con rápidos blancos que caen sobre las rocas en la parte inferior derecha, con una roca oscura en el centro. A la izquierda, pinos de troncos altos y sin ramas bordean una ladera iluminada por el sol, mientras picos nevados se elevan bajo un cielo azul profundo. Óleo sobre lienzo, con luz cálida contra sombras frías.
