About this work

This sketch shows three people walking in a line. The person on the left is a man in a long coat and hat, carrying a walking stick. The two people behind him are dressed in fancy clothes with big hats and curly wigs, holding small items in their hands. The drawing looks like it was made quickly, with loose lines and no color. The background is just a plain, light area with no details. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like this made prints.
