About this work

This sketch shows two figures running, their bodies twisted and urgent. One figure carries a bundle, while the other’s arms wave wildly. Behind them, a bright orange flame licks the air, sharp against a dark, smoky background. The lines are loose and expressive, almost like a quick sketch. The artist signed it in the corner—Jacques Lipchitz—and marked it as part of a small portfolio. The rough, scratchy texture suggests it was made fast, maybe even by hand. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how artists print images this way.
