1867
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
House at the E. end of the Cathedral, Ypres. is a 1867 by Somers Clarke, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a tall, narrow building with three small towers on the roof. The walls are made of light brown bricks, and there are rows of windows with white frames. At the bottom, a person in dark clothes is sweeping the ground in front of the building. The drawing looks like it was made quickly, with loose lines and light shading. The artist focused on the building’s shape and details, like the arched doorways and the small decorative features on the towers. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
