This sketch shows two men in a dim room. One sits slumped in a chair, his face tired and his hands folded. The other leans over an easel, drawing intently. The lines are quick and rough, like a hurried sketch. The older man’s beard is thin, almost gone—maybe that’s why the drawing is called *How I Lost My Whiskers*. The artist focused on everyday moments, not grand scenes. Look up Realism next to see more art like this.
