About this work

This sketch shows a quiet street scene with small houses and a church. The buildings are simple, with light colors and soft roofs. A few people are walking or sitting outside, and a sign with a bird on it hangs above the street. The artist used loose, quick brushstrokes to capture the scene, leaving some areas slightly blurred. The watercolor looks fresh and light, like it was done in one sitting. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
