About this work

This sketch shows two people from behind—one in a long coat and hat, the other in a flowing dress with a hat full of feathers. The artist used quick, rough lines to draw their clothes and posture. The yellow paper makes the dark chalk stand out. The couple looks like they’re walking together, but their faces are hidden. The artist’s loose style gives it a sketchy, unfinished feel. Check out Ranchicourt, Philibert d'Amiens de for more of his quick, expressive drawings.
