About this work

This sketch shows three men in dark suits and tall hats walking in a line. Their faces are hidden by the hats’ brims, and one man’s hand rests on his jacket pocket. The background is just a plain floor with a faint shadow line. The drawing is loose and quick, like a hurried sketch. The artist used light washes of gray-blue for the clothes, making the figures stand out against the pale paper. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
