This sketch shows a quiet countryside scene with a winding road, a small river, and a big house on a hill. A few people walk or ride in a cart, and trees line the path. The colors are soft and faded, mostly grays and browns, with some green in the fields. The title at the bottom says it’s from Holbrook in Suffolk, England. The artist signed it "L. Mayer delin," which means Luigi Mayer drew it. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
