Your description of this is spot on James, good lines in this drawing, it sums up the situation just as well as your written description

You convey the grimness of the occasion superbly, James. Really like the linework.

sepia ink and nib pen on board: it goes with the other one. After a funeral we all need a "debrief"; over the years I've observed groups of people stood around, smoking, chatting, weeping, laughing, avoiding. Sometimes young men stand there, trying to look "macho" and with a concession to good taste, black tie, black trousers, white shirt hanging out of the trousers; sometimes women looking quite formidable, always in the background the funeral director. looking smart and professionally unmoved. As you can see it is hurried, there was a sense of urgency to get this down, so perhaps it's unfinished.... what do you think?
