This black-and-white drawing shows a quiet street scene in summer. A woman sits on a windowsill, fanning herself with a handkerchief while a man leans out the window behind her, holding a broom. Below, a child plays on the ground, surrounded by scattered flowers and plants. The artist paid close attention to everyday life, capturing small moments like this. The trees and buildings in the background add depth, making the scene feel real. If you like this style, look up Realism next.
