This sketch shows a large, pale building with many windows and columns. In front, a low fence holds back a few deer grazing. Two bare trees stand on either side, their branches twisting against a light, sketchy sky. The whole scene looks drawn quickly, with soft lines and little detail. The artist focused on shapes and light, leaving out small details like people or bright colors. The deer and fence make the building feel like part of a park.
