About this work

This drawing shows a man and woman in a bedroom. The man is sitting on a bed, holding a hat, while the woman leans against him, looking down. The room has a chair, a table with a lamp, and a door with a key in it. The lines are dark and detailed, creating shadows and textures. The artist used a technique called cross-hatching to build up the shapes and shading. This method involves layering lots of small lines to create depth. Look up cross-hatching to see how it works in other art.
