This sketch shows a crumbling building with arched windows and a flat roof. In front, two people sit on the ground near a dried-up fountain. The walls are pale, and the scene looks faded, like it’s been drawn quickly in light pencil strokes. The building’s arches hint at a style from somewhere warm, maybe North Africa. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to show light and shadow without much detail. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
