This town is Norwegian in feel with its dense cluster of narrow buildings with steep, pointy roofs rising from the page hatched in precise black ink, each defined by confident, deliberate lines.
Vertical timber planks and clapboard textures are suggested with fast, parallel strokes; occasional cross-hatching gives depth to roof tiles, shadowed eaves and recessed doorways. Windows lend personality, sometimes grouped in pairs, sometimes solitary.
The overall composition balances architectural detail with economical suggestion — the drawing captures the stoic, compact character of an old town without overworking every surface, leaving room for mood and imagination.
