This sketch shows two women in long, flowing coats with wide sleeves. Their hats sit low over their heads, and the fabric drapes heavily around them. The lines are simple but detailed, focusing on the shape of the clothes rather than faces or backgrounds. The artist used a technique that lets ink sit in carved lines, creating sharp contrasts. This kind of drawing was often used for fashion studies back then. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made these precise lines.
