This sketch shows a tall, loose figure standing with one arm bent behind its head. The lines are scratchy and uneven, like quick pencil strokes. In the corners, two small faces peer out—one turned slightly away, the other looking forward. The artist used a rough, sketchy style, almost like scribbles. The main figure looks like a study for a nude, but the faces feel more like quick jots. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how it works.
