About this work

This sketch shows two figures standing side by side in a loose, rough style. One wears a hat and a dark uniform, while the other has a lighter coat and a cap. Behind them, a fence and some trees are barely drawn, with a dark shape that looks like a horse or a shadow in the background. The lines are quick and uneven, almost like scribbles—no details are sharp. The paper has a yellowish tint, and the ink is smudged in places, giving it a sketchy, unfinished feel. Look up Peter Doig to see how his style connects to other works.
