About this work

This sketch shows a quiet village street with old buildings. The houses have dark wooden beams and steep roofs, some with chimneys. A sign on one building reads "Bull Hotel." The street is empty except for a few small figures and a horse-drawn cart in the distance. The artist focused on everyday details like uneven cobblestones and weathered walls. This was drawn in 1940, capturing a moment in a small English village. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
