This image shows a quiet riverside scene with a small town in the background. A lone tree stands near the water’s edge, its branches full and leafy. Tiny buildings with pointed roofs line the shore, and a few boats float on the river. The whole scene is drawn in black lines, with no color—just shades of gray. Notice how the artist used fine lines to show every leaf and ripple in the water. This kind of detailed drawing was tricky to do back then. Want to know more? Look up etching to see how artists like this made prints.
