This sketch shows a donkey pulling a cart with a person riding on it. The rider holds a basket, and the donkey looks tired. The lines are loose and quick, with dark shading and some light strokes to show shapes. The artist used a simple tool—black crayon—to create the whole piece. The rough, sketchy style makes it feel like a quick snapshot of daily life. Next, check out Bellows, George to see more of his work.
