This sketch shows a quick, loose drawing of a meeting agenda page. The top has a rough sketch of a building with arched windows, and a red stamp that looks like a seal. Below, there’s a list of bullet-pointed items in messy handwriting—things like “To read and confirm Minutes” and “To report progress re Decoration of Section.” On the right side, two small faces peek out from the margin, drawn in the same sketchy style. The page is dated January 14, 1904, and signed by someone named Watlow. The artist used light pencil strokes to jot down notes and doodles, making it feel like a working draft. The writing looks hurried, almost like a to-do list for organizing an art show. If you like this style of sketchy, functional art, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
