About this work

This sketch looks like a quick, loose drawing of a cow. The lines are wobbly and uneven, almost like scribbles. The ink is watery in some spots, blending into the paper, while other parts stay sharp and dark. The artist didn’t worry about making it perfect—just getting the shape down fast. The signature in the corner says "J. Dubuffet" with the year 1954. If you like this rough, sketchy style, check out cross-hatching.
