Steyning is a 1816 by William Page, a Romanticism work, depicting Cottage, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a simple wooden cottage with a curved roof and small windows. The walls are drawn with quick, light lines, and the door stands slightly open. In the background, a church tower rises above rolling hills, all sketched in loose, sketchy strokes. The artist focused on shapes and shadows rather than details, giving the scene a rough, quick feel. This style often shows how artists worked fast to capture light and mood. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with layers of lines.
The drawing depicts half-timbered houses in Steyning, West Sussex.
