About this work

This drawing shows a person with long hair and a dark coat, looking out a window. Behind them, a city skyline glows faintly under a cloudy sky. The scene is simple, with soft blue and gray tones. The artist used a loose, sketchy style to show light and shadow. This was made in 1895, blending two art styles that focused on everyday life. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
