Trucks [recto] is a 1918 graphite by John Singer Sargent, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see three old trucks in this drawing. They're drawn from the front, with details like grilles and headlights. The trucks look old-fashioned, which is interesting because they were probably new when the artist drew them. The artist used pencil shading to add depth and texture to the trucks. This shading helps show the shapes and details of the trucks. Check out the work of artist: Sargent, John Singer to see more of his drawings.
John Singer Sargent (; January 12, 1856 – April 15, 1925) was an American expatriate artist, considered the "leading portrait painter of his generation" for his evocations of Belle Époque and Edwardian-era luxury.
