About this work

This sketch shows a flooded landscape with dark, tangled trees in the foreground. The water looks rough, with swirling lines that suggest movement. In the distance, a few buildings peek through the haze, and the sky is filled with quick, sketchy strokes. The artist used loose, fast lines to show the water’s texture—almost like scribbles. This style makes the scene feel alive, even though it’s just black and white. Want to see more work like this? Check out Impressionism.
