About this work

This sketch shows a small village nestled on a hillside, with houses clustered together. A church with a tall steeple stands out in the center. In the foreground, a simple wooden fence runs along the bottom of the drawing, separating the viewer from the scene. The artist used quick, light lines to capture the shapes of the buildings and trees, giving the whole scene a soft, sketchy feel. The paper has a greenish tint, which makes the graphite lines stand out more. Next, check out the National Gallery of Art, Washington to see more works like this.
