1850
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Original sketch of a female figure is a 1850 by Gustave Doré, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a high collar and wide sleeves. She wears a hat with a brim and a feather or bow on top. The lines are loose and quick, giving the drawing a rough, unfinished look. The artist used simple strokes to suggest fabric folds and movement, focusing on shape over detail. This style was common in quick studies. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
A pen and pencil drawing titled Original sketch of a female figure, signed by the artist in pencil, was created by Gustave Doré in 1850.
