About this work

This sketch shows four quick, rough figures drawn in ink and charcoal. Two people stand still, wearing long coats and hats. Another person walks with a cane, while the fourth figure bends over, arms outstretched as if carrying something. The lines are loose and shaky, with some areas filled in with dense shading. The artist used a technique called cross-hatching to add shadows and texture. The paper has a yellowish tint, and the drawing looks like it was done fast, almost like a quick study. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build up dark areas with layers of lines.
