This drawing shows two people dressed in long robes standing inside a dim room. The lines are scratchy and thick, making everything look rough and textured. One person holds what looks like a fan or piece of paper, while the other stands with their arms crossed. The artist used lots of shading to create dark and light areas, giving the scene depth. This style makes the figures stand out against the busy background. Try looking up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting trick works.
