About this work

This sketch shows an old stone building with a big arched doorway and two tall, pointed towers. The walls look worn, with patches of lighter stone and a few small windows. A church steeple with a cross peeks over the roof in the background. The artist used soft watercolors to show light and shadow, making the building look simple but real. The paper has a slight yellow tint, like old parchment. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
