This drawing shows a woman standing in a wooded area, holding a branch with leaves. She’s dressed in flowing robes with a loose head covering, looking away from the viewer. In the background, you can see a small village with buildings and a church spire. The artist used fine lines to create texture, especially in her hair and clothing. The trees and sky are made with quick, sketchy strokes, giving a sense of movement. Next, check out how this was made using the technique: etching.
