About this work

You see two people in a room, one in fancy clothes and the other in simpler clothes. They seem to be in the middle of a conversation. One of them is gesturing with their hands, which adds to the tension in the scene. The artist used simple lines and shading to create this scene. To learn more about the method used to create this image, look up the technique: lithography.
