This sketch shows two men asleep outdoors. One sits on a wooden bench, legs stretched out, wearing a dark jacket and light pants. The other lies on a makeshift bed of blankets and a hat, his boots still on. Both look tired, their heads resting on their arms. The artist used quick, loose strokes to capture the scene, focusing on simple shapes and rough textures. The paper looks worn, like it’s been handled a lot.
