This sketch shows a quiet harbor with three small boats floating on calm water. The boats have tall masts and look like they’re anchored near the shore. In the background, a line of buildings and trees runs along the water’s edge, fading into a soft horizon. The artist focused on simple shapes and light shading to show depth. The boats and shore are drawn with loose, quick lines, almost like a quick sketch. If you like this style, check out Impressionism.
