"On the River" is a watercolor painting by the British-born American artist Henry Farrer (1844–1903), who was known for his tonalist landscapes and for being a founding member of the American Watercolor Society. The painting is a representation of a tranquil river scene, which is characteristic of Farrer's contemplative and atmospheric style. While the exact date of creation is not specified, Farrer's most active period was during the late 19th century, which is when "On the River" was likely produced.

The artwork features soft, muted colors and a focus on the interplay of light and shadow, elements that are typical of the Tonalist movement, with which Farrer was associated. Tonalism was an artistic style that emerged in the United States during the 1880s and emphasized mood and shadow. In "On the River," Farrer would have employed these techniques to evoke a sense of calm and to capture the ephemeral qualities of the natural landscape.

Henry Farrer's works are known for their technical proficiency and his pioneering use of watercolor in a period when oil painting was the dominant medium. "On the River" exemplifies his skill in watercolor, demonstrating his ability to create depth and texture using a medium that is often associated with more spontaneous and less detailed works.

As with many of Farrer's paintings, "On the River" is likely to reflect the influence of the British Pre-Raphaelites and the Aesthetic Movement, both of which valued beauty, nature, and a keen attention to detail. The painting would appeal to collectors and admirers of American landscape painting and those interested in the development of watercolor as a serious medium in American art.

"On the River" would be part of Farrer's legacy in contributing to the American Watercolor Society and the broader American art scene of the late 19th century. His work is held in various public and private collections, and "On the River" would be an important piece for understanding the evolution of American landscape painting and the significance of the Tonalist movement.
