This sketch shows two women facing each other, their heads close together. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a hurried sketch. The paper has a yellowish tint, and the ink looks watery, blending into soft shapes. The artist used simple strokes to suggest hair and clothing, leaving a lot to the imagination. Their faces are turned slightly, giving a sense of quiet conversation. Look up Cheney, Seth Wells next to see more of his work.
