This sketch shows a group of figures tangled together in bold black lines and light brown washes. Their faces are blurred, almost like masks, and their bodies twist into each other. The background is rough, with quick strokes that look like they were drawn fast. The paper itself is worn, with edges that look torn or faded. The artist used ink and watercolor, letting the colors bleed into one another. If you like this style, check out Pierre Alechinsky.
