'Reclining Woman'
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
This sketch shows a woman lying down, her body stretched out in loose, simple lines. Her head is turned slightly, and her hair is drawn in quick, wavy strokes. The paper is light-colored, and the drawing is made with faint pencil marks. The artist left the background almost empty, focusing only on the shape of the body. The lines are uneven but confident, like a quick sketch rather than a detailed study. If you like this style, look up *cross-hatching* next.
