About this work

This sketch shows two people standing close together. Their bodies are drawn in simple, bold lines, with little detail. One person’s arm is around the other’s waist, and their faces are blurred. The artist used quick, dark strokes to create shapes, not realistic forms. The background is just a few rough lines—no extra details. If you want to see more work like this, check out lithography.
