This sketch shows a woman’s side profile, her hair pulled back and draped over her shoulder. The lines are rough, almost scratchy, like the artist was working fast. Her face is turned slightly away, and the light catches one cheekbone. The loose, sketchy style suggests this was a quick study, not a polished drawing. The artist focused on shapes and light rather than details. Look up Impressionism next to see how artists like this used quick brushstrokes or sketches to capture moments.
