This drawing shows a simple still life. On the left is a crumpled hat with a ribbon tied under its brim. Below it, a pitcher sits next to a bunch of onions, a few carrots, and a leafy plant. The lines are soft and sketchy, with no strong shading. The artist focused on everyday objects, drawn almost like a quick study. The hat’s folds and the pitcher’s shape look almost three-dimensional despite the flat lines. Check out Realism next to see how artists captured ordinary life this way.
