About this work

This drawing shows two men sitting side by side, their faces and hands roughly sketched in black ink. One has a mustache and a loose jacket, while the other wears a suit with a tie. Both hold hands or objects in their laps, looking calm but a little stiff. The lines are simple and quick, like a sketch made fast—no extra details, just shapes and shadows. The artist signed it in the corner, but the faces stay blank and general. If you like this style, check out more works by Ben Shahn.
