This sketch shows two older men in a dimly lit room. One wears a tall black top hat and a suit, holding a glass and a pipe. The other, turned away, has a wide-brimmed hat and a loose jacket, reaching for something in his pocket. Behind them, a door has faint writing on it. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show their clothes and expressions. The lighting is soft, focusing on their faces and hands. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
