About this work

This image shows four sketches framed together. Two on top are rough, tangled drawings of people in a crowd, almost like a swarm. The two on the bottom are clearer: a man and a woman herding sheep, with hills and trees in the background. The bottom sketches have bold black outlines and solid black shadows, making the figures stand out sharply. The top sketches look more like quick, messy notes than finished work. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for more works like this.
