About this work

This drawing shows two young figures sitting close together. Their faces are soft and round, with gentle expressions. One has curly hair and a loose sleeve, while the other wears a simple dress with a ruffled collar. The background is faint and blurry, keeping focus on their faces and hands. The artist used light pencil strokes to create smooth skin and soft light. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
