This drawing is all straight lines and small squares. The lines form a grid that repeats across the whole page, light gray on a pale yellow background. The edges of the paper are slightly uneven, and the lines get denser toward the corners. The artist used tiny, overlapping strokes to build up the shading—no big brush marks, just careful, tight lines. It looks like a lot of work to fill every inch.
