This sketch shows a narrow street by water, with a lone figure standing near a wall. The buildings are simple, with dark roofs and light walls, and the water looks choppy. Trees line the street, and the whole scene is drawn in quick, sketchy lines. The artist focused on everyday life, using loose strokes to capture light and shadow. The title *Chioggia* hints this might be a real place in Italy. Next, check out Realism to see how artists like this one showed ordinary moments.
