About this work

This sketch shows two men in a grassy field. The older man sits on the left, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a striped vest, and rolled-up pants. He leans on one hand, looking down at the younger man lying beside him. The younger man rests on his side, one arm bent under his head, and seems to be listening or talking quietly. The background is loose, sketchy lines—just enough to suggest tall grass and a fence. The artist used quick, light strokes to show texture, especially in the clothing and hair. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
