As with paintings, drawings are one of the oldest art forms around and can be traced back to prehistoric times. Before the advent of paper in the 14th century, drawings were made on parchment and silver was also used to make under-drawings.
Drawing was and still is a popular method for artists to create preparatory studies. Examples of preparatory work are often a good way to see the artist's initial observations and ideas before they commit to the final markings in their work.
