This sketch shows a quiet, snowy street with old buildings and a stone dock. Wooden crates and a small wooden hut sit by the water’s edge. The roofs are dusted with snow, and a church spire rises in the background. The artist used loose, quick strokes—no tight details, just rough shapes and textures. It feels like a quick note of a place, not a polished scene. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more sketches like this.
