About this work

This drawing, titled 'Billard,' depicts a woman wearing a white dress and a hat. The dress has a collar and long sleeves, and the woman is holding a green object that looks like a large leaf or a piece of fabric. The background of the drawing is a light beige color. The woman's pose suggests that she is walking or moving, and the green object she is holding adds a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic drawing. The level of detail in the drawing is impressive, with intricate lines and shading that give the image depth and texture.
