This drawing shows a woman in a fancy, old-fashioned dress with a long train and ruffled sleeves. Her face is covered by a mask, and she wears a big hat with curls. The dress has detailed patterns, and she holds the fabric at her chest. The background has tiny scenes of people walking and buildings, but the focus is on her. This is an etching, which means the artist scratched the design into a metal plate. Next, check out the technique: etching.
