About this work

This sketch shows a simple stone house with a slanted roof, sitting on a grassy hill. The walls are rough and uneven, with two small windows and a door. A wooden fence runs along the front, and a few bare trees stand nearby, their branches reaching out. The artist used light watercolor strokes to suggest texture, making the stone look grainy and the grass look patchy. The whole scene feels quiet and a little worn.
