About this work

This drawing shows a bunch of tall, skinny figures packed together. Their faces are blurry, almost like they’re melting. The lines are scratchy and uneven, making it look like it was drawn fast. The artist signed it in the corner. The lines look rough, like they were made by digging into a metal plate. Want to see how this was made? Look up etching.
