About this work

This sketch shows two figures sitting close together under a low roof. The lines are loose and rough, with lots of shading. The background is a simple, flat wall with a faint outline of a hill or mountain. The artist used quick, dark strokes to show the figures’ shapes, almost like scribbles. The paper looks worn, with some tears and tape on the edges. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with repeated lines.

Artist

Margareta Soo Zold

Margareta Soo Zold spent years carving driftwood along the Baltic coast, where the sea’s salt and the wind’s grit left their mark on her hands before her chisels.
