Croquis (Sketch)

About this work

This sketch shows a woman sitting by a window, her back to us. She’s holding a fan in one hand and resting her other arm on the windowsill. The light outside blurs into streaks, while the room stays simple and dark. The artist used quick, loose lines to capture movement and light—just a few strokes for her hair and clothes. The window’s light is the only bright spot in the whole piece. Try looking up drypoint to see how this sketch was made.
