About this work

This black-and-white drawing shows two men in a dimly lit room. One sits slumped in a chair, holding a small dog, while the other leans over a desk, writing or counting something. The room has a fireplace with a clock on the mantel, and a few small objects on shelves. The title at the bottom, *"A Little Cheque,"* hints this might be about money or a small payment. The artist used lines to create shadows and texture, making the scene feel quiet and serious. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists use ink and metal plates to make prints.
