Paintings is a 1890 ink by James Henry Moser, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a grand staircase framed by three tall arches. Two small statues sit on pedestals at the base of the arches, one on each side. The stairs lead up to a distant landing with more arches, and the whole scene is drawn with quick, dark lines. The artist used tiny crisscrossed lines to fill in shadows, giving it texture. This style is called cross-hatching. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how other artists used it.
