About this work

This pencil drawing on paper shows a still life with geometric shapes. A bottle, a pear, and a glass are arranged in a simple composition. The shapes are outlined in pencil, with some shading to give them depth. The drawing is done in a simple, straightforward style, with clean lines and minimal detail. The shapes are not highly realistic, but rather simplified and abstracted. If you like this style of drawing, you might also want to check out the work of artist Juan Gris.
