← Linnell, John

The image shows three outlined figures in varying levels of completion. The first figure on the left has its torso sketched with an outline of a cap. The middle figure appears more detailed, in a profile view with head down, gesturing hands, possibly leaning. This figure wears a coat and a hat. The smaller figure at the bottom left is sketched in a few simple lines, suggesting an abstract form or posture. The figures are drawn in pencil strokes on a blank background, with no additional details or scenery.
