Palestinian [?] women with water pitchers

About this work

This sketch shows two women dressed in long, flowing robes. One carries a basket, the other holds a large jug on her head. Their faces are covered, but you can see their hands and feet clearly. The colors are mostly browns and grays, with a few darker shadows. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the drawing a rough, unfinished look. The women seem to be walking, but the artist didn’t focus on details. If you like this sketchy style, look up Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
