About this work

This sketch shows a person sitting at an easel, holding a brush and a palette. The lines are loose and quick, giving a sketchy, unfinished look. The person’s face is turned slightly away, and their hair is pulled back neatly. The artist used a technique that leaves lots of visible lines and texture. This piece was made in 1880, and it’s a self-portrait. Next, check out etching to see how artists create these detailed, textured prints.
