About this work

This sketch shows a tight cluster of old-style houses packed together. The rooftops lean in different directions, making the scene look uneven. A church steeple rises in the middle, with smaller buildings scattered up the hill behind it. The artist used sharp lines and shading to show depth, even though everything is drawn in black and white. The houses look like they’re made of wood, with small windows and steep roofs.
