Chartres Cathedral is a 16 by Unknown, a Impressionism work, depicting Tower, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a tall, detailed drawing of a cathedral’s tower. The lines are quick and wavy, like the artist was working fast. You can see arches, spires, and windows, but it’s all loose and sketchy—not polished. The handwriting at the top says "Chartres Cathedral," so this is a real building. The artist used light pencil strokes to build up the shapes, almost like scribbling. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
A pencil drawing shows the south-west tower of Chartres Cathedral as viewed from the south-east.
