This sketch shows a quiet farm scene with three tall, thin trees in the middle. A man stands near the right edge, watching two people by a bench. One person sits on the bench, and the other crouches beside a small dog. The background has a fence and more trees, drawn with quick, sketchy lines. The artist used loose, sketchy strokes to show light and shadow instead of tight details. This style was common in late 1800s British art. Look up Realism to see more works like this.
