This sketch shows a group of people on a boat. One man stands holding a long pole, wearing a hat and coat. Another man sits in the front, holding a pipe. Two women stand near him, one with her hands in her pockets. The boat’s sides have a diamond pattern, and the background looks like a simple wooden wall. The artist used shading to show texture, like the folds in clothes or the boat’s wood. The lines are rough but precise, giving it a scratchy, hand-drawn feel. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this use acid and metal plates to create prints.
