About this work

This sketch shows three figures in quick, rough lines. One person stands holding what looks like a long stick or pole. Another sits bent over, with their back to us. The third figure’s head is just a helmeted shape, almost like a mask. The drawing feels hurried, like the artist was working fast. The lines are loose and the shading is light, giving it a sketchy, unfinished look. Next, check out Mario Sironi to see more of his work.
