This drawing shows a building’s east side, drawn in careful pencil lines. The structure has two main parts: a brick base with small windows and a wooden upper section with a steep roof and latticework. A tower with columns sits behind it, and the whole scene is labeled with notes like "dormer window" and "wall hung out." The artist used fine lines to build up shadows and textures, almost like tiny dots packed together. This technique is called cross-hatching. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with just lines.
