Hüssener, Auguste: Andruckbogen mit drei Gemäldereproduktionen

About this work

This drawing shows three small scenes in a row. On the left, a woman in a long dress holds a baby while two others stand nearby in a garden. The middle scene has a woman reaching up to pick fruit from a tree. On the right, three women in fancy dresses sit together, talking or laughing. The background in each scene has trees and bushes. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and textures, like tiny dots and crisscrossing strokes. This makes the clothes and leaves look detailed without color. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build depth with lines.
