About this work

This sketch shows a person sitting on the ground, hunched forward with their knees pulled up. Their arms are wrapped around their legs, and their head is tucked down. The lines are rough and dark, with some faint background shapes that look like other figures or objects. The drawing feels quick and raw, almost like a first try at capturing the body’s weight and shape. The artist focused on the curves and shadows, not details. If you like this style, look up Baroque.
