About this work

This drawing shows two figures in black and white. One is kneeling, holding the other’s hand, while the other sits with a tall hat and a long coat. Their shapes are simple and angular, with sharp lines and no detail. The artist used a technique called lithography to make this one-of-a-group print. The rough, sketchy style makes it feel fast and expressive. Next, check out lithography to see how it works.
