Marble Quarry, probably at Carrara is a 1850 by Alfred East, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a quiet, rocky hillside under a pale blue sky. The ground is rough and uneven, with patches of light and shadow. At the bottom, a few small shapes—maybe people or animals—sit near the edge of a flat area. The artist used soft, watery lines to suggest texture, almost like a quick study. The colors are muted, with whites and grays dominating the scene. If you like this style, check out Sir Alfred East for more of his work.
