This sketch shows a quiet riverbank with tall, bare trees and a few small boats tied up. In the distance, a larger ship sits on the water, and a person walks along the shore with a long pole. The lines are loose and quick, like a quick sketch—no extra details, just the basic shapes. The trees look twisted, almost like they’re leaning into the wind. The artist’s name, *Muirhead Bone*, is signed in the corner, which is unusual for a sketch like this. If you like this style, check out *The Cleveland Museum of Art* for more of his work.
