Durham Cathedral is a 1923 by William Walcot, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a grand, towering building with pointed arches and spires—likely a cathedral. The lines are loose and quick, capturing the shape more than the details. In front, scaffolding and a crowd of small figures give it a busy, lived-in feel. The artist focused on the big forms first, leaving some spots rough and others more defined. This style makes the building feel both solid and slightly dreamy. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
