This drawing shows a big cathedral with tall towers on a riverbank. Below it, a small boat floats near the shore. The water is calm, and trees line the far bank. The buildings look old, with pointed roofs and stone walls. The artist used soft lines to show light and shadow. This was made in 1798 as a watercolor. It’s a quiet scene, but the details matter. Look up Romanticism next to see how artists used nature and emotion in their work.
