This sketch shows a quiet river meeting a grassy bank. The water is full of tiny lines to mimic ripples, and a few rocks stick out near the shore. A small boat sits in the distance, almost hidden by the reeds. The artist focused on how light hits the water and plants, making everything look soft and natural. The signature says it’s from 1883. Next, check out Impressionism to see how artists used light in similar ways.
