About this work

This drawing shows a hunched figure holding a tall stick, wearing a hat and a loose coat. The face looks tired, with big eyes and a crooked smile. The background is just lines and shadows, like a sketchy wall. The title at the bottom reads *"Vision Volumes and Recession"*—it’s a play on how things look far away. The artist used sharp lines and shading to make the figure stand out. If you like this style, check out more etching by Sickert.
