This drawing shows a woman standing sideways, her body twisted slightly as she reaches one arm out. She wears a loose, draped garment that clings to her shoulders and hips, with folds falling down to her feet. The dark background makes her form stand out sharply. The artist used fine, crisscrossed lines to build up the shadows and light on her skin and clothes. This gives the drawing a textured, almost sculpted look. Try looking up *cross-hatching* to see how this technique works.
