Dover Balcony is a 1937 watercolor by Tom Carr, a Spanish Baroque Tenebrist work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a rough, angular room with a balcony railing and a few people inside. The walls are drawn as flat shapes with doors and windows, while the floor tilts at an odd angle. Lines are shaky, and some areas—like the balcony—are barely filled in with faint watercolor. The artist left big gaps in the drawing, making it feel unfinished. The people are simple stick figures, almost like quick notes. The whole thing looks more like a hurried sketch than a polished picture. If you like this style, check out Tom Carr.
