This sketch shows two groups of people carrying huge sacks on their backs. They’re walking away from something, with a few kids trailing behind. The lines are bold and dark, making the figures stand out against a light background. The people look tired, like they’re fleeing with only what they can carry. The artist focused on their struggle, not their faces. Next, look up Auguste Louis Lepère (French, 1849–1918) to see more of his work.
