Hallway to Bed Room, Stenton

About this work

This sketch shows a dim hallway with a tall doorway in the center. The walls are plain, and the floor has wide wooden planks. To the right, there’s a fireplace with a carved mantel and a tall stand holding a mirror. Through the doorway, you can just make out a bed and some furniture in another room. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture light and shadow. The drawing feels like a quick study rather than a polished work. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how it works.
