This drawing shows a man sitting in a rocky landscape under a tree. He looks tired, with his head resting on his hand. The tree’s branches spread thickly around him, and a cross leans against a rock nearby. The artist used lines to show every leaf and wrinkle in the fabric. This was done with a technique called etching. Next, look up etching.
