About this work

The painting shows a group of students gathered around a teacher, discussing with each other. The students are drawn in a detailed and realistic way, with the artist using strong pencils to frame the scene. The pencils create different shades and textures, adding depth to the drawing. The use of strong pencils to create shading and texture is similar to the technique of cross-hatching.
