Thatched Cottages by Félix Hilaire Buhot. The image is a black-and-white drawing of a rural scene. There are two large thatched roof cottages with chimneys emitting smoke in the background. The cottage on the right has white walls visible under the thatched roof. In the foreground, there is a group of ducks and a few chicks. The ducks are standing in a puddle or small body of water. The image is rendered in a sketchy style with many short lines. The image is on a textured paper background with a lighter border around the drawing. The sky above the cottages is cloudy. There is a fence on the left side. The overall scene depicts a quiet rural setting.
