This is one of the rare quick studies I made of works by other artists.
This composition analysis of a drawing is made for leading lines, major shapes, and value differentiation, in half an hour on an A3 sketch paper sheet.
I have chosen Outbreak (Losbruch), 1903, etching / engraving on paper, by Käthe Schmidt Kollwitz (German, 1867–1945) from her series Peasants’ War (Bauernkrieg) that depicts the 1525 revolt by peasants against feudalism in the German-speaking areas of Central Europe.
