This sketch shows two nude figures in a dimly lit room. One person sits on a chair with their legs crossed, while the other leans against a wall, arms resting on their knees. The lines are loose and quick, with no clear details on faces or backgrounds. The drawing looks like a study of people in a private moment, maybe backstage or in a dressing room. The artist used a simple black line on a light background, keeping it rough and unfinished. Next, check out how this was made using lithography.
