This sketch shows a rough, black-and-white scene with a few stick-like figures tangled in branches. The lines are jagged and uneven, like quick scribbles. There’s also some faint writing in the top left corner, but it’s hard to read. The figures look like they’re struggling or caught in something, but nothing is clear. The edges of the paper are uneven, and the whole thing feels unfinished. This is a drypoint print, so the artist used a sharp tool to scratch into a metal plate. Try looking up drypoint next.
