This sketch shows two people standing close under an archway. The lines are loose and scratchy, almost like quick notes. One person wears a hat and a long coat, while the other has a beard and a lighter jacket. The paper has a textured, aged look, and the artist used a drypoint tool to make the marks. This means they scratched into the surface to create the lines. Check out the technique: drypoint to see how artists make prints this way.
