This sketch shows a quiet village scene with a few small houses and trees along a riverbank. The lines are loose and quick, like a rough draft. The buildings have simple roofs, and the trees are drawn with just a few strokes. The artist focused on shapes and light, not details. The river in the foreground looks almost empty, with just a few faint lines for water. Next, check out Romanticism to see how artists used nature and emotion in their work.
