This sketch shows a man and woman standing close together, holding a baby between them. The woman wears a long dress, and the man has a hat and coat. Behind them, a cityscape with tall buildings and a moon is drawn in loose, quick lines. The artist used a simple, sketchy style that feels fast and rough. The background looks like a city at night, but it’s drawn in a way that’s more about shapes than details. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how artists create prints like this.
