Both an art and a means of communication, drawing has been mastered for more than 67,000 years by men, while they have only been able to write for 5,500 years. Children also often draw before they can even speak. The first sketches were made by the Romans. Subsequently, it was during the Renaissance that this art was revolutionized.

Description
This is one of my early works from 1966, created with wax crayons on drawing paper. The paper has now taken on a slightly yellowish color and has folds at the bottom left and small impurities at the top right. I have not made any digital "improvements" to the scanned photo, as I believe that this would detract from the charm of the image. The image is in my private possession and is now 58 years old. Artistically, it was a challenge for me at the time to reproduce the cliff in just two colors.
