About this work

This sketch shows quick, loose drawings of an umbrella in different positions. Some are flat, others open wide, with lines marking how it moves. Below, there’s a side view of a hand holding the umbrella, and a few numbered steps. The notes in German (*"Spreizen der Benin"*) hint this might be about how the umbrella opens or stands. The lines look like they’re testing balance or motion. Want to see more? Check out cross-hatching—this sketch uses it to show depth.
