About this work

This drawing shows two people sitting at a wooden table in a small, dim room. One is spinning thread, while the other works at the table. The walls are dark, with shelves holding tools and baskets. A window with curtains lets in a little light, showing a view outside. The artist used fine lines to create texture, especially on the clothing and wood. This gives the scene a detailed, almost tactile look. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build up shadows with lines.
