About this work

This sketch shows a person sitting, wrapped in a dark coat with a fur collar. Their hands rest on their lap, one glove bright red. The background is a rough, dark shape—almost like a hood or shadow—with a few faint lines above. The face is simple but stands out against the messy strokes around it. The artist used quick, uneven marks to fill the coat and hood, making it look textured. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
