Artist, Norwegian, 1863 - 1944

The image shows a sketch with two individuals. One person is facing away from the viewer while the other faces towards them. Both figures are drawn with loose lines and minimal detail, including simple shapes for clothing and hair. There are rudimentary structures and objects in the background, such as a possible table or bench, abstract shapes on the ground, and basic patterns hinting at walls or windows. The overall style is minimalistic with broad strokes, capturing a vague outdoor or transitional setting.
