This sketch looks like a stage set with a grand arch framing a harbor scene. Ships and buildings sit in the background, while trees and rocky cliffs fill the sides. Light rays burst from the bottom like sunbeams, and a wheel with spokes sits in the lower center. The artist packed a lot into a small space, using quick, sketchy lines to show depth. The harbor looks busy, but the drawing feels loose and unfinished. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
