About this work

This sketch shows two scenes of a quiet street. The top part has a narrow alley with old buildings—one with crumbling walls and a door open to a dark interior. A few people walk down the street, and a bare tree stands in the middle. The bottom part has two men riding donkeys, pulling a cart loaded with what looks like flowers or branches. The artist focused on everyday life, drawing small details like the texture of the buildings and the way the people move. The lines are loose but precise, giving a sense of motion and place.
