About this work

You see a drawing of buildings leading up from the water to a church and college in Macau. The drawing has a lot of detail, with smaller studies of the church and a boatwoman. It also has sketches of groups on the reverse side. This suggests the artist was interested in everyday life. The artist used careful lines to create this drawing, and to learn more about this style, look into the technique of cross-hatching.
