This black-and-white print shows a quiet river scene with a small boat floating near the shore. A person stands in the water, holding a rope tied to the boat, while another person lies inside it. Trees line the bank, and hills rise in the background under a moody sky. The artist used deep shadows and fine lines to create a sense of depth and stillness. This style was common in 19th-century French art. Next, check out Realism for more works like this one.
