This sketch shows a rough, slanted building with uneven walls and small windows. The lines are shaky, like quick pencil strokes. Some parts are darker where the artist piled on lines, and the paper has a worn, beige tone. The drawing looks like a quick study of an old house, maybe from memory. The title says it’s from Chenonceaux, a place in France, but the sketch feels more like a sketchbook doodle than a finished work. Want to see more of this artist’s work? Check out Paterson, James.
