This drawing shows a calm river winding through a quiet landscape. On the water, a small boat carries three people. Along the shore, a windmill stands on a rocky outcrop, while a white building and trees line the banks. The sky is soft and pale, blending into the misty hills in the distance. The artist used fine lines to suggest texture, especially in the trees and water. The scene feels peaceful, like a moment frozen in time. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build detail with layers of lines.
