This black-and-white drawing shows a cozy fireplace with a kettle, teapot, and cups on the mantel. The fire burns low, casting light on a few logs and a poker resting inside. Nearby, a bowl and a basket sit on the hearth, while a chair with a folded blanket leans against the wall. The artist used sharp lines to create shadows and texture, making the scene feel real. This style is called cross-hatching. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build depth with lines.
