This sketch shows two people walking through a wooded area. The trees are tall and thin, with rough bark and sparse leaves. The ground is lightly drawn, with some patches of grass or dirt. The people are dressed in simple, flowing clothes, and they seem to be moving together. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and light. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
