This sketch shows a waterfront scene with a tall tower and domed buildings in the background. A bridge stretches across a body of water where small boats float. The buildings look old, with one tall tower standing out near the center. People and animals are scattered around the docks and streets. The artist used light pencil strokes to show details like the boats and buildings. The paper looks worn, as if it’s been handled a lot over time. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this sketch in person.
