About this work

This image shows a small, rectangular sketch of two men's faces. The faces are drawn in a rough, expressive style, with bold lines and minimal detail. The men appear to be looking at each other, their faces close together. The sketch is done in a drypoint technique, which gives it a textured, almost three-dimensional quality. The lines are bold and expressive, with a sense of energy and movement. The sketch is a great example of the expressive power of drypoint. If you're interested in learning more about this technique, you might want to check out the work of Emil Nolde, a German artist who was known for his innovative use of drypoint.
