This sketch shows a quiet garden scene with a few trees and a path winding through. The lines are loose and sketchy, almost like a quick drawing. A small table with a chair sits near the center, and a couple of people stand or walk along the path. The artist used a technique called lithography, which lets you draw directly on stone and print it. The rough, uneven lines give it a quick, unfinished feel. Check out lithography to see how this printing method works.
