This sketch shows two people in a dim room. One sits in a chair, leaning forward with their hands clasped. The other is on a bed, holding a small object and looking up. Both wear old-fashioned clothes, and the room has heavy curtains and a small statue on a shelf. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and emotion. The lighting is soft, making shadows blend into the faces. Next, look up Romanticism.
