About this work

This sketch shows a calm river with small boats docked along the shore. On the left, a bridge stretches across the water, with buildings and more boats in the distance. To the right, a large tree with thick, tangled branches takes up half the picture. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement in the water and leaves. The scene looks quiet, like a moment frozen in time. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art next to see more works like this.
