About this work

This drawing shows a simple, empty chalice. It’s drawn in light pencil lines against a plain white background. The chalice has a rounded top and a stem that flares out at the base. The drawing looks very clean and precise, with almost no shading. The artist focused on the shape and form of the object. If you like this style, look up stippling next.
