Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sepia-toned landscape drawing of a river with a large sailboat in the foreground. The boat has two large triangular sails and a smaller one. Several people are on the boat. The boat faces right. In the background, there are rocky cliffs and hills along the riverbank. A smaller boat is near the shore to the right. People and animals are gathered on the shore to the left. The sky is cloudy. The overall atmosphere suggests a calm and peaceful scene. The drawing appears to be an old illustration.
