This quick sketch shows two men in robes, one with his arm around the other’s shoulders. The lines are loose and fast, almost like scribbles. One man’s face is turned slightly away, while the other looks forward with a serious expression. The artist used rough strokes to show fabric and movement, not smooth details. The paper is warm brown, and the whole thing feels like a practice drawing. If you like this sketchy style, look up Max Liebermann.
