Ohio River at Empire, Ohio is a 1922 by Paul B. Travis, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet riverside scene with a few people scattered around. In the foreground, two men sit on a rock by the water, one reading while the other rests his head on his hand. Behind them, a woman stands near a tree, and another person leans against a fence. The river curves gently, with a small boat floating near the shore. The background has rolling hills and a distant town, all drawn with soft, sketchy lines. The artist used a mix of dark and light tones to create depth, making the figures stand out against the landscape. The loose, almost sketchy style gives the scene a relaxed, everyday feel. Look up Paul B. Travis (American, 1891–1975) next to see more of his work.
