This sketch shows two people sitting at a small table. The person on the left is turned away, wearing a striped shirt and a hat pulled low. The person on the right faces them, holding a glass and wearing a wide-brimmed hat. The background is blurry but suggests a crowded room with other figures. The artist used quick, loose lines to capture movement and mood. The focus is on the two main figures, while the rest fades into sketchy shapes. Check out the technique: cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
