About this work

This sketch shows two people sitting side by side. The person on the left is leaning back, one arm resting on the back of a stool. The person on the right holds a long object like a stick or ruler, dressed in a loose, draped outfit. The lines are loose and quick, with lots of scribbly marks around them. The artist used a soft, sketchy style—almost like a quick drawing. The paper has a light gray tone, and the lines vary from dark to faint, giving it a rough, unfinished feel. Next, check out lithography to see how this technique works.
