This drawing shows two figures in quick, sketchy lines. One is standing, leaning slightly forward with arms outstretched, while the other is kneeling or sitting with a curved back. The lines are loose and confident, almost like a fast sketch, with no extra details. The artist used a simple black ink on a light background, making the shapes pop. The figures look more like quick sketches than finished drawings—just the basics to show the pose and movement. Next, check out how this was made using lithography.
