This drawing shows a large, empty wooden hall with a high, arched ceiling made of dark beams. Two men in old-fashioned clothes stand near the front, talking. Above them, a wooden screen with carved decorations blocks off the back of the room. The walls are plain, but the ceiling has small carvings of animals and people in niches. The artist used fine lines to show shadows and texture, especially on the ceiling beams. The floor looks smooth and polished, while the walls have simple paneling. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
