This engraving shows a chapel scene with a big altar at the center. Behind the altar, a small painting depicts a dramatic moment with a cloud, fire, and two figures—one pointing upward. Around the altar, six people are scattered: two kneeling, two standing with hands raised, and two others standing at the sides with spears. Notice how the artist used tiny parallel lines to create shadows and textures—this is called cross-hatching. It makes the scene look three-dimensional even though it’s just ink on paper. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists use this technique to build depth.
