This sketch shows a woman sitting sideways, her head turned slightly toward us. She wears a loose dress with a high collar and a headscarf tied under her chin. The lines are quick and wobbly, like they were drawn fast—no small details, just big shapes and shadows. Notice how her posture is relaxed but a little stiff, like she’s posing for someone. The background is almost blank, so all the focus stays on her. If you like this loose, sketchy style, check out Impressionism.
