About this work

This sketch shows a busy street scene with horses pulling carts. People walk alongside, some carrying bags. Buildings line the street, and a bridge arches in the background. The colors are mostly muted grays and browns, with a few touches of green and yellow for contrast. The artist used quick, loose lines to suggest movement and life. The horses and carts look like they’re in motion, even though it’s a still drawing. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build up texture with lines.
