Original Pencil Sketch of an Old Mine Town

This item is an original pencil drawing on white paper, depicting a rustic western scene of an old mining town. The artwork is oriented horizontally and features a central cluster of wooden storefronts with false fronts, characteristic of 19th-century frontier architecture. Key elements include three interconnected buildings under a moonlit sky, flanked by stylized mountains in the background. Notable foreground details include a wooden wagon, desert flora like cacti, and a hanging scale mechanism near a large rock. The piece is rendered in graphite, utilizing cross-hatching and linework for shading and texture. In the upper right corner, there is a handwritten signature reading 'Brittany' and the date '2024'. The paper appears to be in excellent, new condition with no visible foxing, creases, or tears. The craftsmanship reflects a contemporary amateur style with an emphasis on narrative detail and perspective. The overall composition is clean, demonstrating a hand-drawn quality consistent with modern folk or hobbyist art from the current year.
