This sketch shows two men in loose, worn coats with bright red lining. One man has a blue turban and is raising his arm, while the other wears a dark hat and stands with his hands in his sleeves. The background is a plain, light gray wash with no details. The artist focused on quick, rough strokes to capture their clothing and poses. The red lining in their coats stands out against the muted tones. Next, look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
