About this work

This sketch shows a grand stage set with tall columns and a curved balcony. The lines are loose and quick, like a rough draft. Some areas have darker shading where the pen strokes overlap. The paper looks old, with a faint grid pattern underneath. This style was common for planning theater scenes back then. Want to see more? Check out cross-hatching.
