This sketch shows a narrow street with three tall buildings. The middle one has a fireplace with an open door, and a shelf with an open book above it. The buildings are drawn quickly, with dark lines and little detail. The artist focused on simple shapes and light shadows instead of fine details. This matches how some artists worked to show everyday life. Look up Realism next to see more art like this.
