About this work

This drawing shows the embryonic tissue of a mouse. It's drawn in grey and green with a brush. The artist used grey wash to create depth, which is interesting because it adds a layer of detail to the simple drawing. The use of grey and green is a quiet detail that makes this work notable. The drawing seems to focus on the texture of the tissue. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: stippling.
