Portrait of the Artist's Wife

About this work

This sketch shows a woman sitting sideways, holding a small flower in one hand. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a loose dress with a high neckline. The lines are soft and sketchy, almost like a quick study rather than a finished drawing. The drawing looks like it was done in one go, with quick strokes that catch her pose and the flower’s shape. The paper has a textured look, which makes the graphite lines stand out. If you like this style, check out Realism for more drawings that focus on everyday moments.
