Meditation

François-Nicolas Chifflart

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene set in a wooded environment with an architectural element. The figures in the scene are engaged in an implied narrative. One central figure is leaning against a ledge or platform, surrounded by tall trees. Fine lines and cross-hatching are used to create texture and depth.
