1804

Passengers for Rhine Steamer (recto) Passengers for Rhine Steamer (verso) is a 1804 by Heinrich von Mayr, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows busy river scenes with lots of people and horses. On the top sheet, a group walks along the bank—some hold umbrellas, others carry bags. The bottom sheet has a carriage pulled by horses, with riders and pedestrians around it. The lines are loose and quick, like notes jotted down fast. The artist focused on movement and everyday life, not perfect details. These sketches were likely study drawings for a bigger project.
