1888
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Arnheim on the Rhine is a 1888 by Charles Adams Platt, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet river scene with a single sailboat gliding toward the shore. The water is calm, with gentle ripples reflecting the sky. In the distance, a row of buildings lines the water’s edge, including a tall, pointed tower and a church with a dome. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to capture light and movement, especially on the water and the sail. The buildings in the background are drawn quickly, almost like a quick study.

Charles Adams Platt was an American architect, garden designer, and artist of the "American Renaissance" movement. His garden designs complemented his domestic architecture.
