This sketch shows a man in a top hat sitting in a carriage, holding a cane. His face looks serious, and he’s wearing a long coat. In the background, another person in a hat is standing, and there’s a horse and carriage wheel visible. The drawing is loose and sketchy, almost like a quick sketch. It’s made using a printing method called lithography, which lets artists draw directly on stone. Next, check out lithography to see how artists create prints like this.
