Untitled (Woman Driving Carriage)

About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a wide-brimmed hat, gripping the reins of a horse-drawn carriage. The horse’s muscles and mane are drawn with quick, rough lines. The woman’s posture is tense, her face focused ahead. The artist used a technique that leaves scratchy, textured marks—this is an etching. The background is mostly empty, keeping all the energy on the woman and horse. Next, look up etching to see how artists create these detailed, layered prints.
