This drawing shows a ruined building in Bengal. Bricks and arches stick out. A person squats under them. An ox rests next to a cart with one broken wheel. George Chinnery drew this during a trip in 1824. He liked sketching ruins and daily life. His lines are sharp and quick. See how he uses cross-hatching to shade. It makes shadows feel real. Chinnery, George
