About this work

You see a small building on a rocky hillside with figures and a bay in the background. The drawing shows a lot of detail, like the pathway and the piled-up rocks. It's interesting that there are different versions of this composition, which suggests the artist was experimenting with the scene. This drawing is similar to work done using the technique: cross-hatching.
