About this work

This image shows a sketch of a hamburger, with a bun on top and a patty inside. The burger is drawn in black and white, with some shading to give it depth. The artist used lithographic crayon on paper to create this piece, which gives it a rough, textured look. The burger is drawn in a simple, cartoonish style, but it still looks appetizing.
