About this work

This sketch shows a young child sitting at a small table, holding a spoon and looking down at a bowl. An open book lies nearby, and a basket sits on the table. The background is dim, with a window or dark shape behind the child. The artist used a simple, sketchy style with strong lines and shadows to show light and form. The paper has a rough, textured look, typical of drypoint prints. Check out the artist’s other work to see how she used similar techniques. Peggy Bacon
