This sketch shows three figures in a rough, scratchy style. The person on the left is kneeling, holding their face with one hand. The middle figure stands tall, gesturing with their arms while wearing a long coat. The person on the right stands close, their hands clasped as if listening or praying. The colors are mostly black, white, and a few yellowish patches. The artist used quick, uneven lines—almost like scribbles—to show emotion instead of detail. This style makes the scene feel urgent or raw. Check out how this was made using lithography.
