This sketch shows a man kneeling on the ground, working with a small fire and tools. Behind him, another man stands shirtless, holding a hammer over his shoulder. A third person sits in the background, barely sketched in. The drawing is loose and quick, with soft watercolor strokes. The artist focused on everyday life, capturing a moment of craftsmanship. The scene feels raw and unpolished, like a quick note from a traveler. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
