Wickhambreux Mill, Kent is a 1938 by Robert Arthur Wilson, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a big wooden building with a slanted roof, likely a mill, sitting by a river. In front, a horse pulls a cart loaded with what looks like hay or grain. The drawing is mostly in shades of gray and brown, with quick, loose lines that make it feel sketchy and fast. The artist focused on simple shapes and textures—notice how the wood planks and riverbank are drawn with quick strokes. The horse and cart add a sense of everyday work, grounding the scene in real life. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
Robert Arthur Wilson (1884–1975) was an artist, born in Sunderland.
