About this work

This sketch shows a woman sitting sideways, her body turned slightly to the right. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a loose, flowing dress with a dark collar. The background is a simple, faint interior with a window or doorway and a few rough lines suggesting furniture or a wall. The artist used quick, loose strokes—some areas are barely outlined, while others, like her dress, are filled with darker, patchy blue. The paper shows through in places, giving it a sketchy, unfinished feel. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth in drawings.
