About this work

This drawing shows just three simple lines on a light background. A long straight line runs from the top to a small circle. Below it, a curved line spirals outward like a seashell. The lines are thin and precise, with no shading or color. The paper looks plain, almost like a sketch. Next, check out lithography to see how this kind of print was made.
