About this work

This sketch shows a long line of people waiting outside a building with tall windows and a sloped roof. The crowd stretches down a narrow street, some standing in groups, others alone. The artist used quick, scratchy lines to show movement and shadows. The drawing looks like it was made fast, almost like a quick sketch. The artist focused on the shapes and shadows rather than details. Look up drypoint to see how this technique works.
