About this work

This black-and-white drawing shows a person walking away from us. They’re bent over, leaning on two long sticks—maybe crutches. Their back is turned, and their clothes look loose and worn. The dark background makes their shape stand out sharply. The artist used a smooth, almost sketchy line to show the person’s struggle. The way their body sags hints at tiredness or pain. Look up lithography next to see how this print was made.
