About this work

This sketch shows a quiet riverside scene with simple buildings and trees along the water’s edge. The lines are loose and scratchy, almost like quick notes. A boat sits on the right, tied up near a dock, while the river’s surface is full of wavy, uneven strokes. The artist used a rough, sketchy style—no smooth shading or fine details. It feels more like a quick drawing than a polished painting. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
