This sketch shows two skeletons walking side by side. One wears a hat and holds a cane, while the other leans slightly forward. The background is filled with thick, tangled lines that look like tangled branches or smoke. The artist used sharp, scratchy lines to create a dark, uneven texture—almost like the bones themselves are rough. The paper has a slightly worn edge, too. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this make prints with acid and metal plates.
