About this work

This drawing is all black lines on a white page. The lines swirl and overlap in tight circles. Some parts look like sharp points, others like tangled webs. The artist used thick, uneven strokes to build up the dark shapes. It feels like a sketch for something bigger—maybe metal or stone. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists layer lines like this.
