This watercolor shows a row of old brick houses packed close together. The buildings have three stories, with small windows that stick out slightly. Roofs are slanted with red tiles, and chimneys poke up here and there. The street below looks narrow and quiet, with a few shadows and a lone figure near one doorway. The artist used soft watercolors to show the worn, earthy tones of the bricks and roofs. Some windows have tiny flower boxes or laundry hanging. In the distance, a grander building peeks over the rooftops. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this drawing in person.
