About this work

You see a woman sitting in a chair, looking straight ahead. She's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The artist drew her with simple lines and minimal details, which makes her seem quiet and still. The woman's face is expressionless, but it's interesting because it doesn't give away her emotions. This makes you wonder what she's thinking. Check out the technique: lithography.
