Two Houses with Tile Roofs is a 1759 ink by Jean-Jacques de Boissieu, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows two small houses with tiled roofs. One has a tiny porch with a bench. The other looks like a shed. Trees with bare branches stand around them. In the front, a person sits on the ground near a fence, holding something. The artist used a method called drypoint to make the lines look rough. This made the shadows and textures pop.
