This sketch shows two cats curled up together. One is stretched out on its side, while the other sits upright, its tail wrapped around its body. The lines are loose and quick, like the artist was working fast. The paper has a textured look, typical of older prints. The artist signed it in the corner, but the name isn’t easy to read here. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
