This sketch is mostly soft white and pale blue. It looks like clouds floating in a light sky, with a few darker patches near the top. The brushstrokes are loose and watery, almost like they were done quickly. The artist left a small signature in the corner with the years 1906–1919. That might mean this was made during those years, but it’s hard to tell for sure. If you like this style, check out more works at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
