About this work

This drawing shows a tall, pointy shape like an hourglass or a vase. Inside, there’s a small circle with four stick-figure people standing in a line. The lines are clean and simple, but the whole thing tilts weirdly—like it’s floating or upside down. The artist added the figures by hand after the engraving was done. That’s why they look a little different from the rest of the lines. If you like this, look up engraving.
