This sketch shows a quiet desert scene. A winding path leads up to a small building with flat roofs. The land is dry and rocky, with a few trees scattered around. The colors are mostly light browns and soft blues. The artist used loose, quick strokes. This style makes the scene feel sketchy and fresh, like a quick note of what they saw. Next, look up Roberts, David RA to see more of his desert landscapes.
