You're looking at a drawing of a canal. There's a boat in the water, and houses and trees along the shore. The drawing is done in red chalk and graphite on laid paper. The drawing has a dreamy, romantic feel to it. The artist has used soft lines and gentle shading to create a sense of calm and serenity. If you like this drawing, you might also like the work of other artists who were part of the Romanticism movement.
