This sketch shows a busy river packed with ships, docks, and buildings. The lines are loose and quick, like a hurried sketchbook page. A big paddleboat sits in the foreground, while smaller boats and cranes fill the background. The artist focused on movement and industry, not perfect details. The whole scene feels like a snapshot of a working port. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more sketches like this.
