This painting shows a simple room with a few pieces of furniture. It's drawn in black lines on paper. The room is plain, with no people or decorations. What's interesting about this work is that it's a trial sketch, which means it's a practice drawing. To learn more about the method used to create this, look up the technique: lithography.
