Village Scene is a 1850 by Henry Edridge, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a quiet village street with small, rustic houses. A cow stands in the middle of the road, while a few people walk nearby. The buildings have thatched roofs and chimneys, and a tree stands tall in the background. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, giving the scene depth. The drawing looks like it was done outside, capturing everyday life in a small town. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
