The image shows a simple sketch of two figures. On the left, a person is depicted holding an umbrella, while on the right, a seated man is shown wearing a hat and holding a glass. The sketch is done in crayon on wove paper, with bold lines and minimal detail. The sketch appears to be a study or rough draft, with the artist focusing on capturing the basic forms and poses of the figures rather than adding intricate details. The use of crayon gives the sketch a rough, textured quality. This sketch is reminiscent of the work of Gauguin, Paul, who was known for his bold and expressive use of color and line.
