This is a black-and-white drawing of the Palace of Versailles. You can see the long, straight gardens with symmetrical flower beds and pathways leading up to the palace. The buildings are detailed with many windows and doors, and there’s a big open courtyard in front. The drawing looks like it was made to show how the palace and gardens are laid out. The lines are precise, almost like a blueprint. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
