You see three people in this drawing. It's a simple sketch, but what's interesting is that it was done on special blue-gray paper with black and white chalk. The artist was experimenting with different techniques and this was a way for him to practice and try new things. This drawing is similar to work done using the technique of chiaroscuro.
