This drawing is packed with tiny faces and names. The top half shows a crowd of men in suits, hats, and beards, all arranged in rows like a group photo. Behind them, a city skyline with buildings and a clock tower is sketched in lightly. The bottom half is a map of sorts, with more faces scattered around labels like *"Café Imperial"* and *"Corso."* Some names are written in red, others in blue, as if sorting people by where they hung out. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching.
