About this work

This sketch shows a busy street scene in black and white. People walk, some with umbrellas, while others sit or stand near buildings. The lines are rough, with dark shadows and smudges—it looks like it was drawn quickly. The title at the bottom reads *"Une Rue de Séville"* (A Street in Seville), hinting this is a real place. The paper has some damage, like tears and stains, giving it an old, worn feel. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this sketch in person.
