About this work

This drawing shows two simple floor plans side by side. One looks like a small room with a door, a window, and steps leading up to it. The other is a circular shape with a grid inside, like a building seen from above. The lines are light and sketchy, almost like a quick note. The tiny handwritten notes in the corner say things like "Brick wall" and "Stone steps," which help explain what you’re looking at. It’s like a blueprint but drawn by hand in pencil. If you like this kind of precise, minimal drawing, check out cross-hatching.
