About this work

This drawing shows a rough, boxy wall made of uneven blocks. Some blocks lean or overlap, like a crumbling stack. In the middle, a small window with bars sits above a chair. The lines are scratchy, almost like they were carved into metal. The artist used a mix of dark and light lines to build up the shapes. The paper has a worn look, like it’s been handled a lot. Next, check out how this was made with etching.
