Inital H for Chapter LXXI from "Lorna Doone" is a 1899 by William Henry Drake, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a family walking through a snowy, rural scene. A woman carries a child, another holds a dog, and a man walks ahead. In the background, a group of people gathers near a building, while a large, dark tree looms on the left. The image starts with a big "H" in the top right corner—likely the first letter of a chapter. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and texture, like the swirling snow and rough clothing.
