This sketch shows a quiet street scene with a two-story wooden building on the left. People sit on a balcony and under a covered walkway, while a dog wanders in the foreground. In the distance, a domed building with a tall tower stands out against a hazy sky. The artist used fine lines to create depth, especially in the shadows and textures of the buildings. The scene feels calm but detailed, with small figures adding life to the quiet streets. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with layers of lines.
