This drawing shows a woman holding a pitcher filled with strawberries. She’s wearing a loose dress and a headscarf. In the background, a plant with large, spiky leaves and small flowers grows near her. The strawberries look fresh and ripe, spilling slightly from the pitcher. The artist used shading to give the scene depth, especially on the woman’s face and the fruit. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
