About this work

This sketch shows a quiet street scene with simple lines. A few houses line the road, and trees stand along the edges. The drawing looks loose and quick, like it was made fast. The artist used a drypoint technique—scratching into a metal plate to make marks. This method lets you see the lines clearly, even if they’re rough. Next, check out Paul Klee to see more of his playful, sketchy style.
