This image shows a woman sitting with her head down, hands resting in her lap. Her body is turned sideways, but her face is in profile, looking toward the right. The lines are rough and sketchy, almost like a quick drawing. The artist used a technique that leaves visible marks and textures, giving it a raw, unfinished look. This piece was made using a process called lithography. Next, look up *lithography* to see how it works.
