About this work

This sketch shows a wild scene with a chaotic mix of people and animals. A large, wild-haired figure is falling off a horse, tangled in the reins. Another person rides a donkey, looking shocked, while a monkey clings to a stick. The background looks stormy, with swirling lines and dark shapes. The title at the bottom hints at a funny or serious accident involving two people. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to make it feel fast and messy. Want to see more by this artist?
