About this work

This is a simple black-and-white drawing of three tall columns with flat tops. The lines are light and sketchy, like a quick draft. At the bottom, there’s a base with steps leading up to a small platform. The artist focused on shapes and proportions, not details. The columns look like they’re part of a bigger building, but only the front is shown. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
