About this work

This drawing shows a simple, inked figure of a woman with one hand resting on her hip. Her hair is drawn in loose, wavy lines, and her face has a calm, almost blank look. The lines are bold and confident, with no shading or extra details. The artist left out most background, focusing just on the shape of the body. The paper is plain, and the ink stands out clearly.
