About this work

This drawing shows the ears of two animals. One ear is large and rounded, while the other is smaller and more pointed. The ears are drawn in pencil on a white background. The artist has used cross-hatching to create texture and depth in the drawing. The lines are soft and gentle, giving the impression of fur. The overall effect is one of quiet observation, as if the artist is studying the animals closely. If you like this drawing, you might also enjoy the work of Thomas Sidney Cooper.
