About this work

This sketch shows a simple doorway with a small porch. The roof has a metal frame and a few plants climbing the sides. Inside, you can see a dark room with a patterned rug on the floor and a curtain hanging behind what looks like a bed or couch. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to draw it, almost like a quick note. The floor outside the door is made of uneven stone slabs. Want to see more of this artist’s work?
