You see a woman sitting in a chair, drawn with red chalk on blue paper. She's dressed nicely and looks relaxed. The artist used simple lines to create her face and clothes, which makes the drawing feel calm. The woman's face is the focus of the picture, and it's drawn with a lot of detail. Her expression is quiet and peaceful, which makes you wonder what she's thinking. This drawing is similar to work by artist Chéret, Jules.
