About this work

This sketch shows a quiet village by a river. A church with a tall steeple sits in the center, surrounded by small houses with thatched roofs. The water in the foreground is calm, with a few people and animals near the shore. Trees and fields line the background, drawn in loose, quick lines. The artist signed it in the corner with the date 1879. The sketch feels like a quick, honest look at a place—not polished, but full of detail.
