About this work

This sketch shows a river with boats and a busy dock in the foreground. Across the water, a city skyline rises, led by a big dome-shaped building. Smaller buildings and a bridge fill the middle ground, while smoke trails drift over the rooftops. The artist focused on rough lines and shading to show depth, almost like a quick study. The dome in the background is likely St. Paul’s Cathedral, a famous London landmark. If you like this style, check out *The Cleveland Museum of Art* for more works like it.
