About this work

This sketch shows a distant, hazy city with domed buildings and scattered trees. The lines are loose and scratchy, like quick pencil strokes. Light areas blur into shadow, making shapes feel fuzzy. The artist left some details rough, especially in the background where buildings fade into the sky. The domes stand out as the clearest forms.
