Untitled (River Scene with Sailboats)

The painting depicts a serene riverscape where two boats are gently anchored on a calm, river under a vast sky dotted with soft, fluffy clouds. The lush greenery along the riverbanks, forms a tranquil, picturesque scene, while a distant cluster of buildings with red roofs peeks from the left, suggests human presence and architectural contrast.
