About this work

This sketch shows three people walking together. The woman in the center wears a long coat with a hat and a flower pinned to her chest. The men on either side have hats and are dressed in suits, but their faces are barely drawn. Notice how the lines are loose and quick—it looks like the artist sketched fast, almost like a snapshot. The clothes and hats suggest it’s from the late 1800s. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
