About this work

This sketch shows a quiet riverbank scene with a grassy foreground and calm water. On the shore, there’s a small dock with a boat tied up, and a few trees line the background. A building with arched windows sits near the water, and a horse-drawn cart rests under the trees. The artist used soft, blended colors and loose lines, giving it a dreamy look. This style was common in late 19th-century prints. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
