This sketch shows a group of people standing outdoors, bundled in coats and hats. A ladder leans against a wall, and one man holds a bucket while another leans on it. The scene looks cold, with rough lines and simple shapes. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes—almost like a hurried drawing—to show the scene. The lines are loose, giving it a rough, unfinished feel. Next, check out lithography to see how artists use this printmaking technique.
