This sketch shows a busy street scene with people walking, talking, and riding horses. Buildings line both sides, some with arched doorways and tall windows. A few people are dressed in old-fashioned clothes, while others wear simpler outfits. The drawing is loose and quick, with lots of scribbled notes around the edges. The artist seems to have been thinking about colors, writing things like "chrome yellow" and "alizarin crimson" in the margins. These notes hint at how the scene might look if painted, but here it’s just black lines on paper. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
