About this work

This sketch shows a river scene with two boats in the water. One boat has tall masts and sails, while the other is smaller with people rowing. In the background, there’s a rocky shore with a few trees and a small building. The artist focused on the details of the boats and the river’s movement, using light pencil strokes. The title at the bottom says *Cutwah on the Hoogly*, which hints at a specific place. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
