About this work

This sketch shows three people walking side by side. The person on the left wears a big cape and a tall hat with feathers. The middle figure is a woman in a long dress, holding it up with one hand. The person on the right has a short coat, a wide-brimmed hat, and a cane. The drawing is simple but full of tiny details, like the folds in the clothes and the way the woman’s dress moves. The lines are sharp and precise, almost like a quick sketch. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made prints.
