River Scene with barges is a 1850 by Augustus Wall Callcott, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a quiet river with a few barges floating near the shore. The water is calm, and the banks are lined with trees and a low, distant hill. The artist used light pencil strokes to sketch the scene, leaving some areas faint and others slightly darker. The barges look small against the wide river, almost like they’re drifting without much movement. The trees along the bank are simple, with just a few branches and leaves sketched in. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
A drawing titled *River Scene with Barges* was created by Augustus Wall Callcott in 1850.
