This sketch shows a quiet riverside scene with a few boats tied up near a wooden dock. Trees line the bank, and a couple of simple buildings sit in the background. The water looks calm, with faint ripples, and the whole scene is drawn in soft, light strokes. The artist used quick, loose lines to capture the mood of the place. The paper has a worn look, like it was made fast on the spot. Look up Fairclough to see more of his work.
