This sketch shows a quiet waterfront scene with boats tied up along a muddy bank. Behind them, a few simple houses and windmills line the shore. The artist used light pencil strokes to show the calm water and the shapes of the boats. The boats in the foreground look ready for work, with ropes and gear visible. The windmills in the background add a touch of daily life to the scene. If you like this style, look up Romanticism next.
