Passengers for Rhine Steamer (recto) is a 1804 by Heinrich von Mayr, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy outdoor scene with people dressed in old-fashioned clothes. Some hold umbrellas, while others carry bags or sit on the ground. The drawing is loose and quick, with light pencil strokes that leave parts of the paper visible. A few figures stand in groups, and a couple of children play nearby. The sketch feels like a snapshot of everyday life, not a polished final work. The artist focused on movement and crowds, not details.
