This is a quick sketch of a woman in a long, light-gray dress and a matching jacket. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s standing with one hand resting on her hip. The background is just a few loose green strokes—like a tree or fence—on a light, almost white paper. The painting looks like it was done fast, with loose brushstrokes. The clothes and pose feel simple but confident, like a snapshot of a moment. If you like this style, check out Eero Järnefelt.
