About this work

This sketch shows three people standing side by side. The woman in the middle wears a long dress with ruffles at the wrist, holding something near her chest. The two men on either side have wide-brimmed hats, swords at their sides, and one holds a feather in his hat. Their clothes look stiff and formal, with lots of folds. The lines are scratchy and uneven, giving the whole scene a rough, sketchy feel. This style was likely done quickly, almost like a quick note of how they stood.
