The Rhine, below St. Goar is a 1915 ink by George Elbert Burr, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet river scene with a castle perched on a cliff to the left. The water is calm, with a few small boats scattered near the shore. On the right, fields stretch out toward rolling hills, and the sky above is filled with wispy, layered clouds. The artist used a rough, textured style that makes the scene feel almost sketchy. The lines aren’t smooth—they’re scratchy and uneven, like they were drawn by hand. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists create prints like this.
George Elbert Burr (April 14, 1859 – November 17, 1939 ) was an American printmaker and painter best known for his etchings and drypoints of the desert and mountain regions of the American West.
