About this work

This sketch shows two clear glasses filled with water and plants. One has a single long-stemmed flower, the other a small cluster of leaves. The glasses sit on a rough, textured surface, maybe a table or windowsill. In the background, a vase and a folded cloth are barely visible. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a sketch. The artist used a method that lets ink sit in the grooves of the plate, creating a soft, shadowy effect. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
