About this work

This sketch shows four quick, simple drawings of a person’s lower body and head. Two focus on legs and feet—one bare, one with a bandaged ankle. Another shows the back of a head with a scarf or hood tied loosely. The last two are heads from the front, wrapped in fabric, with a loose knot at the back. The drawings are rough and fast, like notes or practice. The artist used light lines and shading to show shape, not detail. Want to see more by this artist? Check out Christina Ramberg.
