This sketch shows a quiet riverside scene with a mix of buildings and trees. The water is drawn with quick, wavy lines, and the shore has a few scattered branches. In the distance, a tall tower stands out among smaller structures, all lightly outlined. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to capture light and movement instead of details. This style was common in etchings of the time. Next, check out etching to see how artists like Whistler made prints like this.
