About this work

This sketch shows two men on a city sidewalk. The man on the left wears a long coat, hat, and holds a cane. His face looks tired. Behind him, a poster on the wall lists words like "Pall Mall" and "Budget." The other man stands with his back to us, wearing a long coat and hat too. The artist focused on everyday life, not fancy poses. The rough lines and brown tones make it feel quick and real. Want to see more sketches like this? Check out lithography.
