This drawing shows a busy tavern scene with five people and a dog. The people are dressed in old-fashioned clothes, some standing, some sitting at a table. One person is pouring a drink, while another leans in close. The dog sits near the table, looking up. Shelves in the background hold barrels and cups. The artist used simple lines and shading to show light and shadow. The scene feels lively, even though the colors are mostly dark. Next, look up *cross-hatching* to see how artists build up shading with lines.
