This black-and-white scene shows a crowded room with people gathered around a table. A man stands at the table, holding up a loaf of bread while others watch closely. Some people sit on benches, others stand, and a dog lies on the floor in the corner. The room has a stone archway in the background, and shelves filled with jars or bottles line the walls. The artist used a printing method called lithography, which lets you draw directly on stone before pressing it to paper. This made the image look almost like a sketch. Next, look up lithography to see how this technique works.
