This sketch shows a busy theater backstage. A woman in a large hat stands near a door, while two men in suits and a woman in a dress chat nearby. Chairs and a table are scattered around, and a dog sits in the corner. The drawing looks rough, almost like a quick sketch. The artist used a mix of lines and shading to show movement and light. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
