This sketch shows a quiet lakeside scene. Two small figures stand near the water’s edge, one taller and one shorter. A rocky cliff rises in the background, with a few trees and bushes in the foreground. The colors are soft—blues for the water, greens and browns for the land—and the brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy. The figures look like they’re just standing there, maybe watching the water or the sky. The painting feels simple but has a calm, peaceful mood. If you like this style, check out Soldan-Brofeldt, Venny.
