This sketch shows a busy street scene with a horse-drawn carriage in the foreground. A woman in a yellow coat sits near the carriage, while two others in blue dresses stand to the right. Buildings with large windows line the street, and a sign reads "Golden Cross Hotel." The colors are soft and the lines are loose, giving it a quick, sketchy feel. The artist focused on everyday life, capturing movement and color in a simple way. The painting feels like a snapshot of a moment in time, not a polished final work. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
