Carpenter

Giuseppe Maria Crespi

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two figures on a raised platform. The figure on the left is slightly bent forward with a raised arm holding sticks or batons. The figure on the right is leaning back, holding a cane. Clean lines and cross-hatching create depth and texture in their clothing and shadows.
