Man carrying a child is a 1950 watercolor by Sven Berlin, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows three quick, loose drawings of a man’s back and legs. The first is just a simple outline, the second adds a child on his shoulders, and the third fills in more of his torso and arms. The lines are rough, almost like hurried notes. The middle drawing has a tiny note: *"Draws for carving in wood."* It looks like practice for a bigger project. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more sketches like this.
