The Fugitives

About this work

This sketch shows two figures running, their bodies leaning forward in a rush. One is carrying a child on their back, while the other holds something small in their hand. The lines are rough and fast, like hurried strokes—no smooth details, just movement and urgency. The artist left out faces and extra clothes, focusing on the shapes of their bodies and the urgency of their steps. This isn’t a polished drawing; it’s raw, almost like a quick note of a moment caught in time. If you want to see more of this artist’s work, look up Barlach, Ernst.
