About this work

This sketch shows two actors in a play, drawn in quick, rough lines. One actor sits with their head tilted, while the other stands behind them, arms crossed. The background is simple, with just a few faint shapes. The play’s title, *Le Bien d’Autrui*, is written at the top, along with actor names. The style looks hurried, almost like a quick sketch for a poster. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists make prints like this.
