This sketch looks messy on purpose. There’s a big dark blob on the right, like a shadow or a shape without edges. Lines crisscross everywhere—some thick, some wobbly—with small ovals and scribbles scattered around. A tiny figure in the corner holds something, but it’s hard to tell what. The paper has dark spots where ink soaked in, like coffee stains. The artist signed it in the corner: *"Stöhrer 62."* No clear scene here—just marks and shapes that don’t add up to anything real.
