About this work

This drawing shows three pillows stacked on a simple table. The pillows have plain colors—white, gray, and tan—and soft folds show how they press against each other. Tiny cross-hatching shadows give each pillow its shape. Karavousis liked to draw everyday objects in quiet rooms. He often used engraving tools to add fine lines, even in drawings like this one. You can see how he kept the same careful style whether he was carving wood or sketching on paper. Look for similar details in still-life drawings by Karavousis Sarantis (1938 – 2011).
