About this work

This sketch shows three stick-like figures standing in a row. The middle one wears a big, lumpy coat and holds a bundle of sticks. The person on the left has one arm raised, and the right figure holds a long stick like a spear. All three have simple, exaggerated faces with big eyes and small mouths. The background is plain white, and the lines are scratchy and uneven. The middle figure’s bundle of sticks might be a nod to traditional Inuit tools or daily life. The artist used sharp, quick lines to make everything look both rough and full of character. Want to see more?
