St. Anne's Church from Southover is a 1903 ink by F. L. Griggs, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a quiet street with old brick buildings on the right. A lone figure walks down the narrow path, wearing a hat and carrying a bundle. Trees line the left side, and a church with a tall steeple rises in the background. The artist used tiny, crisscrossed lines to build up shadows and textures—like the rough brick walls or the tree bark. It’s all done in black ink, no color. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how this technique works.
