View of the Sugarloaf Mountain from the Aqueduct Road, Rio Janeiro

View of the Sugarloaf Mountain from the Aqueduct Road, Rio Janeiro is a painting by Marianne North, created in 1873.  It depicts a lush, verdant landscape, viewed from a vantage point that looks out over a valley and towards the iconic Sugarloaf Mountain in the distance. The foreground is dominated by various types of tropical trees and foliage, with their branches and leaves filling much of the scene. The trees are rendered with detail, showing variations in their textures and shades of green. The middle ground shows a rolling landscape of hills covered in more vegetation, leading the eye to the background. The Sugarloaf Mountain is visible in the distance, its distinctive shape clearly identifiable, rising above the other hills. The sky is a pale, soft blue, with a few wispy clouds. The overall impression is one of a tranquil, vibrant tropical scene. The painting is in the collection of the Marianne North Gallery, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
