This drawing shows two bare trees framing a quiet riverside scene. In the background, a few buildings sit across the water, some with chimneys and roofs. The ground is empty except for a small boat tipped on its side near the shore, and a few scattered sticks or bundles. The artist focused on simple shapes and soft lines, almost like a sketch. The trees’ branches twist sharply against the flat, pale background. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this work in person.
