Little London

About this work

This sketch shows a hazy city by a river, drawn in quick, light pencil strokes. Buildings line the water’s edge, with a bridge stretching across in the middle. A dome rises in the distance, and boats float on the river. The scene feels busy but loose, like it was drawn fast. The artist used a technique called lithography, which lets you draw directly onto a stone before printing. This sketch is rough but full of tiny details—like the people on the bridge and the trees along the shore. Next, check out lithography to see how it works.
