About this work

This is a simple drawing on light beige paper. Two thin black lines meet at a corner, forming a gentle angle. The paper has faint brown spots, like old stains. The lines are so light they almost disappear into the background. It looks like the artist barely touched the paper. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shapes with lines.
