This sketch shows a dry, sunlit valley with rocky hills in the background. Palm trees line the sides, their fronds swaying in the heat. Near a shallow stream, two figures kneel—one appears to be filling a container, the other resting nearby. The light is bright but soft, washing over the scene in warm tones. The artist used loose, quick strokes to suggest movement and light, almost like a quick sketch on location. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
