About this work

This sketch shows a quiet city scene with old buildings along a waterfront. A tall tower with a dome rises in the middle, while smaller houses line the left side. The ground looks wet, and a few people are scattered around—some near the water, others walking along the street. The artist used lots of quick lines to show texture, especially on the buildings and water. It feels like a quick, rough drawing, almost like a sketchbook page.
