Sir Richard Steele's Cottages

David Lucas after John Constable

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a street scene with buildings and trees on either side. In the distance, a cityscape can be seen with a domed structure and spires. The street leads towards this cityscape. The drawing uses a monochrome palette with various shades of gray and black. Soft, blended strokes are used throughout, especially in the sky with dramatic clouds.
