You see a simple village hut surrounded by trees and foliage. The drawing is quick and loose, with pencil lines overlaid with ink wash. This style suggests the artist was sketching on location, trying to capture the scene quickly. The use of ink wash over pencil is a technique similar to cross-hatching, and learning more about this technique can help you understand the artist's approach, like the works of artist: Chinnery, George.
