Drawings Featuring Curtains - Behind the Drapes

Besides being a basic necessity of any household, curtains can add a dramatic flair to a scene by billowing in the breeze or softening harsh lighting. Placing a character behind a set of sheer curtains can also lend them a mysterious air, and as you pull back the drapery, it can almost feel as if you’re about to bear witness to a well-kept secret. As René Magritte once said, “We are surrounded by curtains. We only perceive the world behind a curtain of semblance.”
