Convent of Niveron, or the Iberian is a 1850 by Unknown, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a quiet riverside scene with a few simple buildings. A stone bridge with arches crosses the water, and a tall tower stands in the background. Trees line the banks, and the whole image is drawn in light, even lines with no heavy shading. The artist used fine lines to create depth, almost like tracing. It feels calm and precise, with no extra details to distract. If you like this style, look up *cross-hatching* next.
A drawing from 1850 depicts the Holy Monastery of Iviron on Mount Athos. The work is part of a group of seven drawings in the Victoria & Albert Museum’s collection, which are attributed to a woman who reportedly went ashore wearing a midshipman’s uniform.
