About this work

This sketch shows a crumbling stone archway with a tall, curved opening. The walls are rough, and sunlight cuts through the arch in a bright patch. Shadows stretch long across the uneven ground, and a small figure stands near the base of the arch. The top sketch looks like a distant building by the water, with a dome and a few people sitting near the shore. The artist used quick, loose lines to capture light and shadow. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
