"A River in Ceylon" is a watercolor painting by the Irish artist Andrew Nicholl (1804–1886). Nicholl, who was largely self-taught, is known for his landscapes and natural history illustrations. The painting depicts a serene river scene in what was then known as Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, where Nicholl spent some time during the mid-19th century. His work often reflects the lush landscapes and exotic flora and fauna he encountered there.

The painting is characterized by its detailed rendering of the tropical environment and the use of light and color to capture the atmosphere of the location. Nicholl's attention to the interplay of light on water and the diverse vegetation reflects his keen observation skills and his ability to translate these onto paper, which garnered him recognition during his lifetime.

"A River in Ceylon" is significant as it represents the cross-cultural encounters of the British Empire and the fascination with exotic locales that was prevalent during the Victorian era. Nicholl's work, including this painting, contributed to the visual documentation of British colonies, which was of great interest to audiences back in the United Kingdom. The painting not only showcases Nicholl's artistic skill but also serves as a historical record of the landscapes of Ceylon during the period of British colonialism.

The artwork is part of a broader collection of Nicholl's Ceylon paintings, which were well-received in his time and contributed to his reputation as a notable artist of the 19th century. Today, "A River in Ceylon" is appreciated for its aesthetic qualities as well as its historical value, offering insight into the colonial perspective and the representation of the British Empire's territories in art.
