About this work

This sketch shows a tall, narrow building with four stories of windows. The bottom floor has big arched windows, while the floors above have smaller, square ones. Two people stand outside near a cart, and the drawing is all in pencil with light shading. The artist focused on how light hits the building’s details, like the window frames and rooftop. The sketch looks like it was drawn quickly, maybe while walking past. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
