This sketch shows two people in a dimly lit bar. One wears a top hat and holds a drink, while the other leans in, dressed in a fancy hat and a loose coat. The lines are quick and rough, like they were drawn fast. The woman’s hat looks like feathers, and the man’s top hat is simple. The background is almost blank, keeping focus on them.
