This sketch shows a woman leaning on a bar, wearing a fancy hat and a long coat. Her face is blurry, but you can see her holding a fan. The background is just a rough wall with a few dots—no extra details. The artist left a lot of the lines loose, like quick pencil strokes. It feels like they were drawing fast, maybe catching a moment. Next, check out Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1864–1901) for more sketches like this.
