Landscape with Cottages

About this work

This sketch shows a quiet country scene. A small wooden house sits under a thatched roof, surrounded by bare trees with twisted branches. The trees lean in, almost hiding the house. In the background, a few more trees and a faint path appear, but everything is drawn in quick, light lines. The artist focused on simple shapes and rough textures—notice how the trees look almost like sticks with a few leaves. This style was meant to feel fast and real, not polished.
