About this work

This drawing shows a simple wooden chair with a curved back and armrests. On the seat sits a crumpled hat, its brim bent and the fabric wrinkled. The chair stands on a checkered floor, and the whole scene is sketched in black lines with some shaded areas. The artist used a mix of line and tone to make the hat look soft and the chair look solid. This style is called etching and aquatint, where ink is pressed into metal plates. Want to see more?
