About this work

This sketch shows a seated person wrapped in a loose, flowing robe. The face is dark and shadowy, with just a hint of features. The background is mostly a pale blue wash, while the robe and hands are quick, rough strokes—some areas look almost erased. The painting feels unfinished, like a quick study. The artist didn’t smooth out the brushwork, leaving visible marks and uneven patches. Look up Carol Szathmari next to see more of their work.
