This sketch shows a young girl sitting inside a room. She’s wearing a simple dress with a collar, and her hair is loose. In the background, there’s a window with bars and a curtain, plus a dark, empty space that looks like a fireplace. The lines are rough and quick, giving the drawing a sketchy, unfinished feel. This style was a way to capture life simply, without too much detail. Check out Realism for more art like this.
