On the Severn is a 1882 by Alfred East, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a riverbank with a few trees and bushes. The lines are loose and quick, like a rough draft. The water looks calm, with a small boat floating near the shore. The artist focused on light and shadow, using simple strokes to show depth. The trees have big leaves, and the whole scene feels natural but not perfectly detailed.
