This sketch shows a woman in a long dress standing next to a large tub. She’s holding a stick and prodding a group of turkeys crowded around it. The background has a rickety staircase, a cluttered balcony, and a few small animals on the ground. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and light. The scene feels busy but loose, like a snapshot of daily life. If you like this style, check out Impressionism next.
