History’s 2nd task is to draw (??) a sketch of some historical figures. Wonder how this was graded.

Sketch one balding clean shaven face and sketch another one with pointy triangular beard?

Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of “sketch” (2): a brief description (as of a person) or outline

That’s how I read it as well

It’s interesting that those figures would not have occurred in political cartoons, and that you are told to sketch briefly, as if prone to waste time on too much detail.
