This drawing shows a busy harbor scene with people walking near the water. Ships are anchored in the background, and buildings line the shore. A horse and cart sit near the crowd, while a flag hangs from one of the buildings. The artist focused on everyday life, mixing people of different activities in one spot. The watercolor style keeps it soft but detailed, especially in the clothing and ships. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
