About this work

This drawing shows a small, simple scene. On the left, a tiny ship floats on a wavy line of water. On the right, a hunched figure covers its ears with its hands. Above them, a handwritten line reads: *"In my youth my ears were deafened by a variety of shrill cries: Liberty, Progress, Science, Culture."* The figure looks like it’s blocking out noise, maybe frustration or exhaustion. The ship seems far away, like a distant dream. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
