This sketch shows a quiet street lined with old buildings. Trees block part of the view, and a fence runs along the sidewalk. A few people walk in the distance, and the road curves gently away. The colors are mostly muted, with some greens from the trees and browns from the buildings. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to capture light and shadow. It feels like a quick study of a place, not a polished scene. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
