This sketch shows two women in a loose, quick style. One wears a dark hat and a jacket with buttons down the front. The other holds what looks like a fan or a small stick, her dress flowing loosely. The lines are rough and sketchy, like they were drawn fast. The artist focused on movement and everyday life, not perfect details. The olive-green color gives it a warm, slightly faded look. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
