Fish Baskets is a 1833 by Edward William Cooke, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows two large fish baskets sitting on a sandy surface. The baskets are made of woven material, tied with rope, and look heavy. One basket has a small window or opening near the bottom. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show texture and light. The drawing feels loose and rough, almost like a quick note rather than a polished work. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build up shading with lines.
