This sketch shows two views of a simple, sloped metal platform with rusty iron plates and wire rope edges. The left side has precise measurements drawn in, while the right side shows a loose, quick sketch of the same shape from a different angle. A few wavy lines in the background suggest a landscape, but the focus stays on the structure. The artist labeled it *"Rusty Ground"* for an event called *Documenta 6* in Kassel. The pencil lines are light but clear, mixing careful drafting with rougher strokes. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
