About this work

This sketch shows a seated nude woman drawn in loose, wavy lines. Her arms rest on her knees, and her head tilts slightly forward. The background is almost blank, with just a few faint marks near her shoulders. The artist used thin, scratchy lines to build up the image—no heavy shading or detail. The paper has a slightly textured look, like the marks were pressed into it. Next, check out the technique: etching, drypoint to see how artists make prints like this.
