This black-and-white drawing shows the inside of a church. The floor is stone, worn in spots. Two people stand near the front, one holding a candle. Tall columns line the sides, and light comes through arched windows. A few steps lead up to a raised area with a small altar. The artist focused on shadows and light to show depth. The figures are simple but detailed, with soft edges. Next, check out Realism to see how artists used everyday scenes like this one.
