About this work

This is a simple wooden panel, split into three sections. The wood is dark and rough, with visible grain and knots. Two small metal rings hang from the top middle piece, and there are faint pencil marks and numbers on the right panel. The panel looks like it was used for drawing or notes—maybe even as a sketchboard. The numbers and marks suggest someone tracked or labeled it over time. If you’re curious about how artists used wood like this, check out cross-hatching.
