About this work

This sketch shows a rough, light pencil drawing of a landscape with trees, hills, and a distant building. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a first draft. The paper is faded and has some smudges, with a few notes scribbled in the corner. The right side of the paper is mostly blank, with just a few scattered marks. The left side has the word "COROT" written near the bottom, which is a clue to who made it. If you like this style, look up Jean Baptiste Camille Corot.
