This sketch shows a tall, narrow building with arched windows and a balcony. Inside, two small figures stand near a door, while others sit or stand below. The lines are loose and scratchy, giving it a rough, sketchy feel. The artist used quick, dark strokes to show light and shadow, focusing on texture over detail. This style was common in etchings of the time. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made prints.
