This image is a half-circle fan with a black-and-white drawing of a river and bridge. Trees line the riverbank on the left, and buildings stretch across the right side. The water looks choppy, and a small boat sits near the center. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement in the water and trees. The fan’s shape makes the scene feel like a snapshot from a specific viewpoint. Check out Eugène Bejot (French, 1867–1931) for more of his work.
