About this work

This is a pencil sketch of a tall, narrow church tower. The drawing shows a simple, pointed steeple with a small cross on top. Below it, the tower has a square base with a slanted roof, and the walls are made of small, neat lines that look like bricks. The artist wrote the name "Foot Cray" and the date "20th August 1864" at the bottom. This sketch is a close-up, focusing only on the tower’s shape and details. If you like this kind of drawing, look up cross-hatching next.
