About this work

This sketch shows a hunched man sitting on the ground. He’s holding a cane in one hand and a bunch of flowers in the other. His face is blurred, and he’s wearing a rumpled coat. Around him are a bucket, a shovel, and a few scattered objects. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show the man’s tired posture. The flowers look out of place next to the tools, adding a strange contrast. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
