This drawing shows two people and a horse in a chaotic, sketchy style. The lines are rough and uneven, like they were drawn quickly. One person is holding the horse’s reins while the other reaches out, maybe trying to help. The background is dark and messy, with no clear details—just shapes and smudges. The artist used a technique where ink is pressed onto stone or metal to make prints. That’s why the lines look both bold and slightly blurred, like they were rubbed or wiped. Check out lithography to see how this process works.
