This sketch shows a woman standing in a field, holding two large woven baskets. She wears a long dress with a high collar and a wide-brimmed hat. The background is faint, with a fence, a cart, and some bushes drawn lightly. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to suggest fabric and movement. The baskets look heavy, and her posture feels relaxed but purposeful. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
