This sketch shows three people on a stage. One woman in a fancy dress is holding a cane, another woman in a hat is leaning on her, and a man in a suit is reaching out to them. The lines are loose and quick, like they were drawn fast. The scene looks like it’s from a play, and the artist used a sketchy style to capture movement. This kind of drawing was common in Parisian theaters at the time. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
