About this work

This sketch shows two views of a rocky river scene. The top part has a waterfall pouring down a cliff. A person stands near the base, looking small. The bottom part shows trees and boulders along the riverbank. The artist used quick, light pencil strokes to capture the rough texture of rocks and water. The paper looks worn, like it’s been handled a lot. Next, check out Bunner, Andrew Fisher to see more of his sketchy landscapes.
