About this work

This print shows a small wooden building by a river, with boats stacked in the water. A bridge with arches runs across the scene in the background. The trees on the right side are bare, and the whole image is in shades of gray. The sign on the building reads "Launches For Sale," hinting at a quiet riverside business. The artist used sharp lines and texture to show the wood and water. Check out the artist’s other work at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
