The image is a pencil drawing of a landscape with a river and mountains. The river is calm, reflecting the mountains and buildings on its banks. A small boat is in the water. In the foreground, there are buildings, including a church with a tall steeple. The mountains rise up in the background, with some trees and other vegetation visible. The drawing is detailed, with many lines and shading to create depth and texture. The artist has used a range of techniques to capture the light and atmosphere of the scene. If you're interested in learning more about this style of drawing, you might want to look up the technique of cross-hatching.
