This sketch shows a dusty road with a horse-drawn carriage moving along it. Two people ride in the wagon, while another person leads the horse. On either side of the road, two figures stand on tall poles, waving flags. The landscape looks dry and flat, with a few scattered trees in the distance. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture movement and light. The scene feels like a moment frozen in time, almost like a snapshot. Next, check out the technique: cross-hatching used in this drawing.
