1891
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
House at Antwerp is a 1891 by Somers Clarke, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a tall, narrow building with steep roofs and lots of small windows. The walls look made of dark wood beams with lighter gaps between them. On the ground floor, there’s a shop with a few people inside, and a small dog sits near the door. The drawing uses quick, light lines to show depth and texture—no colors, just black and white. It feels like a quick study, maybe for a larger project. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
George Somers Clarke was an architect and English Egyptologist who worked on the restoration and design of churches and at a number of sites throughout Egypt, notably in El Kab, where he built a mud brick house.
