The Nile Flooding

About this work

This black-and-white drawing shows a river scene with a tree branch in the top right corner. The water looks rough, with small waves and rocks in the foreground. In the background, there are hills, a few small buildings, and two tall, pointy structures that might be obelisks or towers. The artist used a scratchy, textured style to show light and shadow. The lines are sharp, giving the water and trees a sense of movement. Next, look up technique: etching to see how artists like this made prints.
