This sketch shows a pile of draped fabric in soft gray and white. The cloth looks heavy, with deep folds and loose edges. There’s a small corner of another piece of paper below, also with a quick sketch of fabric. The artist used light shading to show how the cloth falls naturally. The purple paper makes the gray tones stand out. Next, check out Vedder, Elihu to see more of his work.
