A Village Scene in India [verso]

George Chinnery

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a rural scene with a low eye-level perspective. A simple brick structure is in the middle distance, with a background suggesting a horizon. It is rendered in black ink with detailed brushstrokes for texture. Two figures and livestock are in the foreground, with foliage and makeshift structures on the right side.
