This sketch shows a woman sitting sideways, wrapped in a loose robe. Her hair is pulled back, and she holds her hands in her lap. The lines are soft and smudged, like quick pencil strokes. The artist drew his own mother, which was common for painters at the time. The style feels relaxed, almost like a doodle. Next, look up George Harlow to see more of his work.
