About this work

This image shows two sketches of people on a piece of paper. The person on the left is sitting down, and the person on the right is standing up. They are both wearing old-fashioned clothes. The sketches are done in a simple style, with just a few lines to show the shapes of the people's bodies and faces. The paper is a light brown color, and the sketches are drawn in a darker brown ink. The artist who made these sketches was interested in studying how people look when they are standing or sitting. You might also like to look at the work of other artists who were part of the Baroque movement.
