This sketch shows a busy city street lined with tall buildings. The structures have lots of windows and details like balconies and streetlights. People are walking on the sidewalk, and some are standing near storefronts. The lines are loose and quick, giving it a sketchy, almost unfinished look. The buildings look like they’re from an older part of New York, with a mix of plain and decorative facades. The artist focused on the texture of the brick and stone, making it feel real. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this sketch in person.
