About this work

This black-and-white drawing shows a quiet outdoor scene with two people working near a stone wall. One person is bending over a pile of logs, while the other sits on a stool, holding a bundle and looking down. Pots, buckets, and tools are scattered on the ground, and a small fire or hearth is visible in the background. The artist focused on everyday life, showing the rough texture of the logs and the worn clothes of the workers. The scene feels real and simple, without fancy details.
