A 30 minute drawing done in conte crayon. There is good depth in this image with the foreground of the hanging lamp, then the midground of the archway and connecting wall, and then there is the background of the passageway wall, leading into the far background with the window.
The different tonal values and mark-making which make up these layers add to this, the midground and far background darker than the background, hinting at hidden light sources in that corridor. This combination of tonal value and depth draws the viewers eye past the midground into the space of the corridor.
The focal points of this image are the hanging lights, as well as just above the window where all of the layers of depth meet in a small space. This creates a sense of balance in the image, and the line between the two points mirrors that of the perspective of the columns.
