This sketch shows four people sitting and lying on the ground. Three are dressed in loose clothes—one wears a red cap, another a striped shirt—and they’re all turned slightly away. A woman in a long dress sits with her back to us, holding a hat. In the top corner, a dog rests on its side, looking relaxed. The colors are soft and muted, with light green grass and faded fabrics. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes to capture movement and mood. The scene feels casual, like a quiet moment in nature. The dog’s loose, sprawled pose contrasts with the seated figures, adding life to the drawing. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
