About this work

This sketch shows a quiet harbor town with simple rooftops and a tall church tower rising in the middle. A small boat floats near the shore, and the water’s edge is marked by a low wall. Trees and a few ships add small details to the scene. The artist used quick, light lines to capture the shapes without much shading, giving it a sketchy, unfinished feel.
