About this work

This sketch shows a simple two-story house on a hillside. The building looks old, with a slanted roof and small windows. A ladder leans against the side, and a person stands near the roof. The ground around it is uneven, with a steep drop-off covered in brush. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show light and shadow. The focus is on everyday life, not fancy details. Look up Otto H. Bacher (American, 1856–1909) to see more of his work.
