This sketch shows a woman in a loose dress carrying a basket of turkeys. In the background, a man stands on a balcony above her, looking down. The scene is drawn in soft lines with no strong colors—just light and dark shading. Notice how the artist used shadows to shape the figures and objects. The turkeys on the ground are barely more than quick scribbles, but they add life to the scene. If you like this style, look up Realism next.
