This sketch shows two men standing outside on a city sidewalk. One man leans on a cane, wearing a hat and a long coat. The other man stands behind him, dressed in a heavy jacket and a cap, with one hand in his pocket. A building wall with faded text is behind them. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture their clothes and posture. The scene looks like a moment frozen in time, not polished or perfect. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
