About this work

This drawing shows a long, empty hallway with high ceilings and tall windows on both sides. The walls are plain and light-colored, while the floor stretches straight ahead, fading into shadow. A single lightbulb glows near the left wall, casting a small circle of light on the floor. The artist used pencil only, making the lines soft and smudged in some spots. The hallway looks quiet and lonely, with no people or furniture in sight. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
