This sketch shows a long, grand building with tall windows and columns, sitting in a park. The drawing is loose and quick, with lots of shading to show light and shadow. Trees and a fence line the front, and a few small figures stand near the entrance. The artist signed it "V.A.M."—short for the Victoria and Albert Museum, where it’s kept. The date "1833" is written right on the paper, too. If you like this sketchy style, look up cross-hatching next.
