About this work

This poster shows a side view of a woman’s body, drawn in loose, sketchy lines. Her arm stretches out, and her head tilts back slightly. The background is mostly blank, with just a few scribbled marks and a faint green shape. The title, *Étude de Femme*, means "study of a woman" in French. The artist used quick, confident strokes to capture the figure’s movement. If you like this style, check out Impressionism.
