This sketch shows two figures floating above a rocky ground. One looks like a woman with wavy hair, draped in a light cloth, while the other holds a blue cloth. The colors are mostly browns and grays, with a few blue and white touches. The figures seem to be angels, but the artist left out some details. The brushstrokes are loose, like quick notes rather than a finished drawing. Check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
