This sketch shows a long line of people marching in a parade. Some carry colorful banners with crosses on them, while others hold lanterns or religious symbols. The crowd moves along a dirt path, with a few buildings and trees in the background. The drawing looks like it was done quickly, with light, sketchy lines and soft watercolor washes. The artist focused on the movement and energy of the group rather than perfect details. If you like this style, look up Romanticism next.
