There are three things that draws one's attention to the artwork: 1. the color of the paper, 2. the crinkling of the paper, and 3. the well executed detail. I must say, the technique, if any, on the bending/ crinkling of the paper is a rather strong point to this piece. The feeling it gives off is "Old," "Antique," or "Ancient."

The only thing that throws the eyes off the page and all over the drawing is the lack of perspective and true depth. Well established lines of point and better use of shading would help balance the problem out.

Other than that, very good pensmanship

This wide angle view of the Church of Terrasson on foxed and wrinkled light brown paper reminded me immediately of the drawings of Rembrandt va Rijn, who produced this drawing in 1650 [link] . He was much admired and studied by Vincent Van Gogh, who was also capable of drawing in something like this style, only with a broader nibbed pen [link] .

I suspect that this was drawn with a modern graphics pen, possibly a fine bore Rotring type. At first the buildings seem to lean drunkenly, until we remember that this is a wide angle view looking downwards at the pavement, so the perspective is likely to be techically correct, in contrast to the Van Gogh drawing in which the high level skyline is also used but the upright lines have been kept more upright. deliberately, partly because his buildings are more distant. I'm impressed by the detail and solidity of this work, in contrast to the fragile looking paper it on which it was executed. It has a look of 'instant antiquity' which lends it charm.
