Study from the Interior of Vartov Church in Copenhagen is a 1868 by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This drawing shows a quiet, dim room with a door slightly open. Sunlight streams through a small window, lighting up a staircase and a chair in the next room. The walls are plain, and the floor looks worn, with a curved bench in the foreground. The artist focused on light and shadow to show how spaces feel empty. This style was common in the late 1800s when artists like this one used simple lines to capture real-life scenes. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with just lines.
