This sketch shows two people walking side by side on a street. One wears a hat and a long coat, while the other holds a cane and looks down. The lines are loose and quick, like a hurried sketch. The artist used a simple drawing tool called lithography, which lets you make prints from a flat stone. This style fits right into the loose, everyday feel of the scene. Next, check out the technique: lithography to see how it works.
Comte Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Montfa (24 November 1864 – 9 September 1901), known as Toulouse-Lautrec (French: ), was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, caricaturist, and illustrator.
