This drawing shows a quiet riverside scene. Two boats sit on a muddy shore, their sails tied down. A few people stand near them, talking or walking. Behind them, a small house sits on a rocky cliff. Trees and clouds fill the rest of the picture. The artist used simple lines to show light and shadow. The sky looks soft, like real clouds. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists create depth with lines.
