Dordrecht is a 1891 by Charles Nicolas Storm van 's-Gravesande, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet waterfront scene with a small boat anchored near a cluster of buildings. The water is calm, reflecting the shapes around it, and trees line the right side. In the distance, a tall church spire rises above the rooftops. The artist used soft, blended lines to create a dreamy, hazy effect—almost like the scene is seen through mist. This style makes the whole image feel peaceful and a little mysterious. If you like this mood, look up *sfumato* to see how other artists used similar soft blending.
Charles Nicolas Storm van 's-Gravesande (1841–1924) was a Dutch artist.
