This sketch shows a small, rough house with a thatched roof. A horse is pulling a heavy cart with big wooden wheels. Inside the doorway, two people stand watching. The walls are plain, and a barrel sits near the door. The artist focused on the horse’s effort, making the scene feel real and a little rough. This style was common in the early 1800s. Next, look up lithography to see how this drawing was made.
