Sketch of Houses (Probably in Germany)

Andrew Fisher Bunner

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a black and white sketch of a castle on a hill. The castle has several towers and spires. A wall runs along the front of the castle. The castle sits on top of a hill with some trees and bushes in front of it. The sky is light gray with some darker gray clouds. The castle appears to have a mix of tall and short towers, with some having pointed roofs and others having flat roofs. The overall atmosphere suggests a medieval-style castle. The image is drawn in a simple, yet detailed style. The artist's use of shading and lines creates depth and texture in the image.
