About this work

This sketch shows a human figure sitting with its legs crossed. The body is drawn in loose, quick lines that leave some areas faint and others darker. The face is a skull, but the hands and clothing are still visible as soft shapes. The artist used charcoal on thin paper, letting the lines blur slightly. This gives the drawing a ghostly, unfinished look. Look up scumbling to see how artists create similar soft, layered effects.
