Boquet River

About this work

This sketch shows a quiet river winding through a wooded area. Tall trees line the banks, their branches thick and dark against the sky. A fence runs along the left side, and a small building peeks out in the distance near the water. The artist used quick, loose lines to capture light and shadow, making the scene feel fresh and alive. The date "1859" is signed in the corner, showing this was made over 160 years ago. Next, check out David Johnson (American, 1827–1908) to see how his other works compare.
