Father and Son

About this work

This sketch shows two figures walking side by side, their bodies drawn in loose, quick lines. The man on the right holds a long stick, while the one on the left wears a hat and coat. Trees and branches fill the background, also sketched in rough, sketchy strokes. The drawing looks unfinished, like a quick study rather than a polished work. The artist used a technique that lets ink sit on the surface without blending, giving it a scratchy, raw feel. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
