The House of the King of Poland (Angers)

About this work

This sketch shows a river with a bridge carrying buildings and people across it. On the far side, a castle with tall towers sits on a hill. The water below is rough, with quick, wavy lines. The artist used loose ink strokes and light brown wash to keep it simple and fast. The buildings look like they’re from a long time ago, with arched windows and a mix of stone and wood. The sketch feels hurried, like the artist was drawing it quickly on the spot. If you like this style, check out Romanticism for more sketches like this.
