This sketch shows a busy scene with lots of small, quick lines. At the top, a group of horses and riders moves across a narrow space. Below, a crowd of people walks under a bare tree with twisted branches. The lines are loose and sketchy, not polished. The artist signed it in the corner, and the paper has a textured, aged look. This is a drawing made with ink on paper, not paint. Next, check out etching to see how this kind of printmaking works.
