This drawing shows a tall, dark tower against a pale, cloudy sky. The tower has a rounded base, then narrows into stacked sections with small windows and pointed edges. At the top, it ends in a spire with a cross. The artist focused on the tower’s details, like the tiny clock face near the bottom. The sky looks soft and fuzzy, almost like a watercolor wash. If you like this style, look up Romanticism next.
