This sketch shows a quiet street lined with tall, leafless trees on both sides. A few people and horses walk down the path, which is bordered by a simple wooden fence. The trees have thin branches, and the ground looks damp, with patches of snow or mud. The artist used light, loose strokes to suggest movement in the trees and shadows on the ground. It feels like a cold, still day. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
