A village street, Bengal is a 6 by George Chinnery, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
You see a village street in Bengal with thatched dwellings and Indian figures. The drawing shows a quiet scene with people going about their daily lives. It's interesting that the artist took time to draw the details of the wooden hills and the textures of the thatched roofs. Check out the technique of cross-hatching to learn more about how this drawing was created.
