This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing dress standing by an open window. She’s reaching out, her hair wild, as if caught in a strong breeze or sudden movement. Behind her, a man in dark clothes watches from inside the room, his face half-lit. The woman’s pose feels dramatic and loose, almost like she’s caught mid-action. The sketch is rough and quick, with lots of shading to show light and shadow. If you like this style, check out Impressionism.
