This sketch shows two men in sharp, angular lines. One man leans forward, holding a cane, while the other stands stiffly beside him. Their faces are drawn with bold, simple shapes—no soft details, just strong edges and dark shading. The artist used a technique called *drypoint*, where lines are scratched into a metal plate to create texture. The rough, sketchy feel makes the scene feel urgent and raw. Check out *Ernst Ludwig Kirchner* to see more of his bold, expressive style.
