This sketch shows three people walking together. The person in the middle is barefoot and dressed simply, holding a cane. The other two wear boots and long coats, with one carrying a dog. The background looks like a rough stone wall, and the whole scene is drawn in loose, quick lines. The artist used a technique called lithography, which lets them sketch directly onto a stone before printing. This sketch was made in 1895, part of a series about a play called *Chilperic*. Check out more about lithography to see how it works.
