This sketch shows two figures sprawled on their backs in a field. One is fully dressed, lying still, while the other is half-covered by a sheet, arms flung out. The ground looks rough, and the sky above is dark and swirling, like wind or smoke. The artist used loose, quick lines to show movement—even though the figures aren’t moving, the marks around them feel restless. The sheet’s edge catches the light, making it stand out against the dark shapes. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
