Seated Woman

About this work

You see a woman sitting in a simple pose, drawn with red and white chalk on gray paper. She's wearing old-fashioned clothes and has a gentle expression. The artist took care to show the folds of her dress and the texture of her skin. The woman's face is calm and quiet, which makes the drawing feel peaceful. The artist used simple lines and shapes to create a sense of depth and volume. Check out the technique of chiaroscuro to learn more about how artists use light and dark to create depth in their work.
