About this work

This sketch shows a quiet coastal village with a rocky shoreline. A few people walk near small houses with chimneys, some sitting on a low wall. The ground is uneven, with cracks and pebbles leading to the water. The drawing is mostly in black and white, with light shading to show depth. The artist focused on simple lines and textures, like the rough stone walls and the uneven ground. This style makes the scene feel real and lived-in.
