About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, dark skirt and a green top standing at a table, her back to the viewer. She's wearing an apron and has her hair pulled back. The table is covered with a white cloth, and there's a small stool under it. The room is simple, with a striped rug on the floor and a plant on a table in the corner. A window is visible behind the woman, with a piece of cloth hanging from it. The overall mood is quiet and domestic. The artist has used simple lines and shading to create a sense of depth and texture. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up cross-hatching.
