About this work

This landscape drawing depicts a serene river scene, with a small boat docked on the right side of the image. The river stretches across the center, meeting the horizon line at a gentle curve. In the background, trees and buildings are visible, adding depth to the composition. The artist's use of graphite on wove paper creates a sense of texture and subtlety, with delicate lines and shading that evoke a sense of calm. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful world of the painting.
