Study for a sculpture is a 1958 by Pietro Consagra, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows six rough, black shapes on a white page. Each shape looks like a tall, skinny box with lines and marks inside. Some boxes have small circles or dots. The lines are uneven, like quick sketches. The artist used thin, repeated lines to fill in the shapes. These lines overlap in some spots, making dark patches. The drawing feels like a quick test before making something bigger. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build up dark areas with lines.
