Dordrecht (Old Warehouse)

About this work

This drawing shows a quiet harbor scene with boats tied up along the dock. The water is calm, reflecting the buildings across the way. Houses with steep roofs line the shore, and a few people are scattered near the boats. The artist used fine lines to capture the texture of the water and wood. The whole scene looks like it was drawn quickly, focusing on light and shadow. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
