About this work

This sketch shows a woman dressed in a long, dark red coat with a patterned collar. Her hair is pulled back, and she holds a small red object near her face. The lines are loose and quick, with some areas left blank. The title *Chassée-croisé* might hint at the way the lines cross over each other in the drawing. The artist’s signature looks like a stylized "S" with a dot. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with layered lines.
