This drawing shows the back of a human torso with a strange, wire-like frame attached. The lines are all scratchy and uneven, like they were drawn fast with a felt-tip pen. The shoulders and ribs are visible, but the whole thing looks stiff and mechanical, not like a real body. The artist used quick, rough strokes to make the skin and wires look tangled. This style feels more like a sketch than a finished drawing. Look up Jan Lebenstein to see more of his work.
