About this work

This sketch shows three people sitting inside what looks like a train or boat. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to draw their faces and hats. The background is just a simple wall with a window showing light and some trees outside. The lines are loose and rough, like the artist was drawing fast. The signature says "Walter Richard Sickert," which matches the artist’s name. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists use acid and metal plates to make prints.
