This drawing shows a quiet river scene with trees on the left. A small bridge crosses the water, and buildings sit in the distance. The sky is light, almost pale, and the whole scene looks soft and misty. The artist used watercolor, which keeps the colors gentle and blended. This style was common in early 1800s England. Look up Burnet to see more of his work.
