Music on the waters is a 1815 by Hablot Knight 'Phiz' Browne, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows three women sitting by the water near a boat. One woman holds a fan, another leans back on a bench, and the third sits facing them. In the background, a few people stand near a ship, and the scene looks calm and relaxed. The drawing is rough and sketchy, with loose lines that give it a quick, almost hurried feel. The artist used light brown ink on a pale paper, making the scene look like a study rather than a finished piece. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
A drawing depicts three young girls standing on a balcony observing a group of singers in a rowing boat moving along a river below.

Known for lively ink drawings that caught action and mood, Hablot Knight “Phiz” Browne filled pages with a wounded horseman mid-fall, children’s-book sketches, a quiet shoreline, and a girl clutching her secret.
