About this work

This painting shows a simple wine glass drawn in pencil on stationery. It's interesting because the title mentions the glass is "as yet unbroken", which makes you think about what might happen next. The drawing is also very detailed, considering it's on a small piece of paper. You can learn more about similar simple yet detailed drawings by looking into the technique of stippling.
