This drawing shows a fancy chandelier. It has lots of small lights shaped like boxes and big circles. Curly ropes hang from the sides, ending in little knots. At the bottom, two small figures hold the ropes. The center piece looks like two X shapes stacked. The artist used lines to fill in shadows, making it pop off the page. Check out how engraving works to see how this was made.
