The distant shoreline is lined with muted trees and vegetation, which appear soft under what might be a late afternoon sky brushed with light strokes of pink and blue.In "River Bank," Glackens' impressionistic style flourishes, showcasing his knack for capturing light and natural atmosphere through expressive, thick brushstrokes.
