This sketch shows a cityscape viewed from a window. A train moves across the middle, while buildings and trees fill the bottom half. The sky is full of swirling clouds and quick, sketchy lines. The artist used loose, fast strokes to capture movement and light. This style was new for its time. Next, check out Impressionism to see more works like this.
