About this work

This drawing shows three figures: a priest walking away, a porter carrying a pole, and a dog lying down. They’re drawn in a loose, sketchy style typical of the artist. The scene feels informal, like a quick street snapshot. The dog is angled away from the other two. The artist worked in China and India during British colonial times.
