This sketch shows two people standing in a room. The person on the right wears a striped shirt and pants, while the one on the left is dressed simply, with a head covering. Behind them is a bed and a chair, drawn in loose, rough lines. The walls and floor are barely suggested, just enough to show the space. The drawing uses quick, uneven lines that feel hurried. The faces are simple but expressive, with just a few strokes. The artist left some areas blank, like the background, making the figures stand out. Look up *cross-hatching* next to see how artists build shading with lines.
