This drawing shows a quiet village by a frozen pond. Houses with simple roofs sit on a gentle hill, their windows dark. A few bare trees stand around, and two sheep graze near the water’s edge. A small boat floats on the pond, and a sailboat is tied up on the shore. The artist used smooth, even lines to keep everything calm and balanced. The whole scene feels peaceful, like a winter’s day in a small town. Want to see more by this artist? Check out Marguerite Zorach.
