This sketch shows a chaotic scene at a concert hall. A man stands on a chair, holding up a lamp. Another man plays a violin while a dog sits in front of him, looking up. A woman in a fancy hat watches, holding a fan. The room is packed with people, and the artist drew quick, sketchy lines to show the movement. The dog in the front is the funniest part—it looks like it’s waiting for a treat. This sketch was made in 1895 by an artist who loved drawing nightlife scenes. Next, check out Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri de to see more of his lively sketches.
