Monochrome sketch of a hilltop with a pale building, dark rooftops, and rough brushwork in the foreground under a bright, empty sky.

View of Montmartre with Quarry

A loose, monochrome landscape shows a hilltop crowned by a pale building, with dark rooftops and low structures scattered along the slope under a bright, empty sky. Thick, dabbed brushwork in the foreground suggests rough ground and rubble, rendered in gray and black tones.
