Landscape with water is a 1871 by Arthur Ditchfield, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a quiet countryside scene with rolling hills and a small stream. A lone figure runs across the grassy field, while two others sit nearby under a tree. The trees are dark and leafy, and the sky is pale, almost washed out. The artist used fine lines to build up shadows and textures, like scratching tiny marks to create depth. This technique is called cross-hatching. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists use it to make drawings look three-dimensional.
A charcoal drawing by Arthur Ditchfield from 1871 portrays a landscape scene featuring water, and the work is signed and dated.
