About this work

This drawing shows a reclining woman lying on her side, surrounded by flowers. Her body is simple and smooth, with just a few quick lines. The flowers around her are loose and sketchy, mostly in pale pinks and reds. The whole scene is framed inside an oval shape, like a window or a mirror. The artist used a mix of light and shadow to give it a soft, dreamy look. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists use acid and ink to create these kinds of prints.
