This sketch shows two small, shadowy figures near a rocky pool. The rocks are jagged and uneven, with some patches of water below. Trees with scraggly branches lean over the scene, and the whole drawing is done in quick, loose lines with light shading. The artist focused on rough textures and dramatic lighting to make the scene feel wild. The figures seem lost in nature, not the center of attention. Next, check out Baroque for more art like this.
