Baskets is a 1833 by Edward William Cooke, a Romanticism work, depicting Basketry, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows two woven baskets resting on the ground. One is tipped over, spilling out a few small round objects. The lines are rough and quick, almost like scribbles. The baskets look old and worn, with tight, crisscrossed patterns. The artist focused on the texture of the woven strands. The drawing feels a little messy, like a quick note instead of a polished work. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
A pencil drawing with tinted hues depicts fishing baskets from 1833 by Edward Cooke.
