About this work

This drawing shows a small building on a rocky hillside in Macau. The building has a unique feature - its extended roof is supported by wooden props. This suggests the building may have been damaged or was built on unstable ground, and the props were added for support. You can learn more about this style of drawing by looking into the technique of cross-hatching.
