This sketch shows two people walking through a field. The person on the left wears a long dress and a bonnet, holding something to their face. The person on the right has a wide-brimmed hat and carries a tool over their shoulder. The background has scattered bushes and a distant windmill. Notice how the artist used simple lines to show the texture of their clothes and the rough ground. The scene looks like everyday life, not fancy or grand. If you like this, look up Realism to see more art that focuses on ordinary people.
