Village Road with Draw Well is a 1560 ink by Lucas van Doetechum, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a quiet village street with two small houses. The roofs are thatched, and one house has a well in front with a rope and bucket. Trees line the path, and a narrow road runs through the middle, leading toward another building in the distance. The artist used a mix of lines to show texture, like the rough thatch and smooth wood. This style was common in the 1500s. Next, look up the technique: etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
