This sketch shows a lone figure standing by a narrow boat on a calm river. The person holds a long pole and wears loose clothing and a hat. In the background, trees line the shore, and a few buildings peek through the branches. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture light and movement. The paper has a textured look from the printing method. Next, check out etching to see how artists like Whistler made prints like this.
