This sketch shows a tall, ornate fountain with water spouting from its top. The base is wide and square, with a small figure—maybe a child—leaning over the edge, holding a stick. The drawing is loose and quick, with light pencil strokes and some shading to show depth. The artist focused on the fountain’s details, like the carved decorations and the way water flows. The style looks simple but precise, with no extra flourishes. If you like this, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more drawings like it.
