More about this artwork

David Roberts' delicate sketch, "Palace on a River," captures the serene elegance of a grand riverside structure in a moment of quietude. This pencil and watercolor sketch, executed with soft, airy strokes, portrays a majestic, elongated palace with clear architectural details, such as rows of arches and classical windows that lend a stately rhythm to the façade.The palace is reflected gently in the calm waters of the river, suggesting a tranquil setting, where the boundaries between the architectural marvel and the natural element blur harmoniously. Scattered figures can be seen in the foreground, possibly enjoying the peaceful riverside ambience or going about their daily tasks, adding a human element to the scene and emphasizing the scale and grandeur of the palace.This artwork not only showcases Roberts’ skill in depicting architectural precision and atmospheric perspective but also evokes a sense of timeless beauty, inviting viewers to ponder the stories housed within the palace walls.

David Roberts (24 October 1796 – 25 November 1864) was a Scottish painter. He is especially known for The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia, a prolific series of detailed lithograph prints of Egypt and the Near East that he produced from sketches he made during long tours of the region (1838–1840). These and his large oil paintings of similar subjects made him a prominent Orientalist painter. He was elected as a Royal Academician in 1841.
