About this work

This sketch shows a quiet farm scene with a lone horse and rider walking along a dirt path. Tall, bare trees line the road, and a small building sits in the distance. The ground looks rough and uneven, with swirling lines that make it feel textured. The artist used crayon on paper to create this print, which gives it a sketchy, almost hand-drawn look. The lines are loose and quick, like quick notes on a page. Next, check out the technique: lithography to see how this print was made.
