Woman and a Crane (Vigilance?) is a 1892 graphite by Frederic Stuart Church, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting on the ground, holding a long cloth that trails behind her. Next to her stands a crane, its neck arched and head turned sideways. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a sketchbook doodle. The paper looks soft, with some areas blurred where the artist pressed into it. This is likely how the artist tested ideas before finishing a piece. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this use acid and needles to create prints.
