About this work

This sketch shows two women in flowing dresses. The one in front wears a long, light-colored gown with a high neck and a veil. Behind her, another woman stands with a similar dress but no veil. Both have simple, clean lines and soft shading. The artist used quick, loose strokes to suggest fabric and movement. The dresses look light, almost like silk or cotton. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
