This sketch shows two women in water and on land. One stands knee-deep, holding a hat, while the other sits on the shore, her legs tucked up. The lines are rough and uneven, almost like quick scribbles, with no smooth shading. The artist used a printing method that creates this scratchy, uneven look. It’s not a polished drawing—just raw lines and shapes. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how it works.
