Peasant and Girl

About this work

This sketch shows two people in a dim room. One is sitting with their arms crossed, wearing a red-brown dress. The other stands nearby, dressed in a dark blue outfit, their face blurred. The walls and furniture around them are drawn in quick, rough lines. The red-brown figure’s dress is the brightest part of the whole piece. The artist used loose, sketchy strokes to show movement and texture. Next, check out how etching works to see how prints like this are made.
