From Mr Gray Hill's House, Jerusalem is a 1901 by John Fulleylove, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a distant view of Jerusalem, drawn in quick, light pencil strokes. Hills roll in the background, dotted with small buildings and winding roads. In the foreground, a few trees and houses sit near a road, with some handwritten notes jotted in the corners. The artist scribbled the date and location—June 9, 1901—right on the paper, like a travel diary. The lines are loose and sketchy, almost like a hurried note of what they saw. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching for more sketchy techniques.
