About this work

This sketch shows a woman sitting with her back to us, her arms resting on her knees. The lines are loose and quick, almost like hurried scribbles. She’s wearing a loose head covering, and the background has faint shapes—maybe a building or trees. The artist used a drypoint technique, which means they scratched the metal plate to create the lines. The whole thing feels rough and unfinished, like a quick study.
