Tudor și moș Mitru, ilustrație la volumul „Neamul Șoimăreștilor” de Mihail Sadoveanu is a 1949 by Aristomene Murnu-Gheorghiades, held at Iași National Museum of Romanian Literature.
This sketch shows two men sitting on a bench in a wooded area. The trees behind them are drawn with tight, repeating lines, almost like a wall of branches. One man is holding a pipe, and the other has his arm around him, looking relaxed. The artist used a lot of tiny, crisscrossed lines to fill in the shadows and textures—like fur, fabric, and even the trees. This makes the whole scene look detailed but also a little rough. If you like how this drawing uses lines to create depth, look up cross-hatching.
