This sketch shows a man hunched over an easel, drawing. His posture is stiff, and his hands grip the pencil tightly. Behind him, another drawing hangs on the wall—a simple figure of a person sitting. To the right, a lumpy, cartoonish figure stands awkwardly. The lines are quick and uneven, like a fast sketch. The artist signed it "Ganso" in the corner, and the words "Atelier De Pascin" are written below. That might mean this was drawn in someone else’s studio. If you like this sketchy style, look up cross-hatching next.
