About this work

This sketch shows three people in fancy old clothes. The man on the left wears a big hat and a long coat, holding a cane. The woman in the middle has a wide skirt and a fluffy hat with feathers. The man on the right is dressed in bright, striped pants and a hat with a big feather. The woman’s feathered hat stands out—it’s extra tall and looks like she’s trying to impress. The artist used a sharp, sketchy style to draw them, almost like a quick doodle. Next, check out how this was made using etching.
