There’s something about ink and wash drawings like this one that feel… complete, like a form of painting with all the visual charm of drawing.

Doesn’t it make us feel nostalgic? Just reading the title “Wooded Landscape with Country Cart and Figures Walking down a Lane” comforts me. Thank you, Charley.
