About this work

This drawing shows a white hat balanced on a tree stump. Behind it, a ladder leans against a wall, and a dark, rough-textured block sits to the right. The light hits the hat and stump from one side, leaving the rest in shadow. The artist used a soft, smudgy line to show light and dark areas. It looks like they rubbed the crayon to create smooth shading. Next, check out *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
