This sketch shows a woman with a tired face, sitting still with her hands resting on a table. She wears a dark cloak with a striped shawl over her shoulders and a headscarf. Behind her, a simple garden and a small wooden fence lead to a distant building with a pagoda-style roof. Her expression is calm but serious, and the loose, sketchy lines make her feel real. The background is quick and blurry, like a quick glance at a quiet moment. If you like this style, check out more by Alfred Kubin.
