This black-and-white drawing shows a quiet river scene with rolling hills in the background. A lone figure stands near the water’s edge, looking out over the rocks and trees. On the far side of the river, a small village with a church steeple sits among fields and clusters of trees. The artist used fine lines to show details like the ripples in the water and the texture of the rocks. This style was common in early 19th-century prints. Next, check out lithography to see how this image was made.
