About this work

This painting depicts a gargoyle perched on the edge of a building, gazing out over a cityscape. The gargoyle is rendered in black ink, with intricate details that suggest a sense of texture and depth. In the background, the city stretches out, with buildings and streets visible in the distance. The artist's use of cross-hatching creates a sense of shading and dimensionality, adding depth and visual interest to the image. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the gargoyle is lost in thought as it gazes out over the city. For more on the artist's use of cross-hatching, explore the technique.
