This sketch shows a cluttered shop with old clothes hanging in windows and draped over furniture. The lines are rough and fast, like quick notes. Two people stand inside, one near the door, the other by a table stacked with items. The artist used shading to show depth, especially in the dark fabrics. The paper has a textured look, typical of old prints. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made prints.
