This sketch shows an old, crumbling building with tall windows and a dome on top. The street in front is messy, with debris and uneven cobblestones. The lines are sharp, and the whole scene looks like it’s drawn with careful strokes. The artist focused on how buildings wear down over time. This was made in 1865 as part of a series about Paris. Look up Realism to see more art like this.
