This sketch shows a calm river with two small boats floating near the shore. Trees line the bank, and the water has gentle ripples. The whole scene is drawn in loose, quick lines with light shading—no colors, just black and white. The title at the bottom says *Danube at Walhalla*, but the artist didn’t use heavy detail. Instead, they focused on the quiet mood of the place. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
