This drawing shows two small wooden houses with grass roofs. One has a ladder leaning against it, and the other has a boat parked nearby. A tree grows right on top of one roof, and the whole scene looks quiet and simple. The artist signed it in the corner, but the exact year isn’t clear. The houses look like they’re right by the water, with a fence and some barrels on the ground. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build detail with lines.
