This sketch shows two men in a rough, fast style. One is sitting with his legs bent, wearing loose clothes. The other stands behind him, reaching forward with one arm. The lines are messy and uneven, like quick strokes. The artist didn’t smooth out the details—it looks like they were drawn fast, almost like a rough draft. That’s common in early sketches.
