ink drawing

Brushed line artwork

An ink drawing is a picture made with ink, typically applied with a pen, brush, or reed to paper.

The medium produces sharp lines and strong contrasts, favoring precision over the soft gradations possible with pencil or charcoal.

The museum's collection includes ink drawings by Rembrandt.
