This sketch shows two people in a quick, loose style. One person is laughing, arms out, while the other leans in, holding something like a cane or stick. The lines are rough and fast, with some shading to show shapes. The drawing looks like it was done in a hurry, maybe to capture a moment. The artist used simple lines and shadows to show movement and emotion. Next, check out Forain, Jean-Louis for more sketches like this.
