About this work

You see a simple drawing of a boy writing at a desk. The boy is focused on his work, and the drawing is very detailed. The artist used simple lines to create a sense of depth and texture, which is interesting because it shows how much can be done with just a pencil. Check out the work of artist: Cezanne, Paul.
