About this work

This drawing shows a simple black cross on a light background. The lines are thick and solid, with no extra shapes or details. The cross looks heavy and solid, almost like metal. The artist used only black ink on paper, with no shading or color. The signature in the corner is small and faint. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build dark areas with lines.

The story of this work
