About this work

This sketch shows a person in a long coat and hat, holding a curved object like a cane or branch. Next to them is a tall, narrow vase with a wide top, almost like a lamp. The lines are loose and quick, with some areas filled in with greenish paint. The artist signed it "Sous-Bois" in the corner, which might mean "underwood" or "woods." The drawing feels more like a quick idea than a finished work. Check out Carven to see more of this artist’s playful, stylized drawings.
