This sketch shows an old stone church with rounded arches and a simple tower. A narrow street runs past it, lined with more buildings and bare trees. A few small figures walk around, and the whole scene is drawn in loose, quick lines. The church looks worn, with rough walls and a tiled roof. The artist focused on light and shadow to show texture, especially on the stone. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark for depth.
