About this work

This drawing shows a person sitting in a chair, leaning back with one hand resting on their face. The figure is wrapped in a patterned robe, and the chair has a simple, slightly lopsided shape. The background is plain, with just a few faint lines suggesting a floor. The artist used a mix of dark lines and shaded areas to give the image depth. The patterns on the robe are drawn with quick, sketchy strokes, almost like a quick sketch. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this one create prints with acid and metal plates.
