Wire Walker

A black and white sketch of a muscular male figure skater in mid-performance, captured in a dynamic pose with one leg extended and one arm raised. The skater is wearing a form-fitting costume, and the background features light shading with a hint of a rink barrier to the right. The artist's signature and the year '91 are visible in the lower right corner.
