This sketch shows a woman sitting at a table by a window. She’s hunched over, holding a piece of paper or a small book. Outside, a sailboat floats on calm water, and a chair sits empty nearby. The artist used quick, scratchy lines to capture movement and light. The paper has a textured look, like the marks were made with a sharp tool. Next, check out drypoint to see how this technique works.
