About this work

This drawing depicts a woman wearing a tweed outfit, consisting of a collared shirt and a pencil skirt. The woman's face is not fully visible, but her body is turned slightly to the right. Her left arm is bent at the elbow, and her right arm is straight down by her side. The tweed outfit features a mix of dark brown, light brown, and white colors, with a subtle grid pattern. The woman's hair is styled in an updo, and she appears to be wearing a hat or headpiece. The background of the drawing is a plain beige color. The drawing's attention to detail and use of texture suggest a high level of craftsmanship. To learn more about the artist's use of texture and pattern, explore the technique of cross-hatching.
