This drawing shows a Buddhist temple with a unique "moon gateway" and temple masts in the foreground. The artist included some unexpected details, like a goat drawn at a 180-degree angle. On the back of the drawing, there are more sketches, including a basket and cows with a calf. These extra drawings give us a glimpse into the artist's creative process. The style of this drawing is reminiscent of other works that use cross-hatching, a technique where many closely spaced lines are used to create shading and texture, similar to those found in the works of artists like the one who created this, but to learn more about this style, look up the technique of cross-hatching.
