About this work

The image depicts a drawing of two women, one standing and one seated, both wearing black outfits. The standing woman is dressed in a sleeveless top and skirt, while the seated woman wears a sleeveless top and pants. The drawing is rendered in black ink on a white background. The standing woman's outfit features a collar and buttons down the front, with a pocket on the right side of her top. Her hair is styled in a short, curly bob. The seated woman's hair is also short, but styled in a more angular fashion. Both women have their faces turned towards the viewer, with subtle facial expressions. The drawing appears to be a fashion illustration, showcasing the women's outfits in a simple yet elegant style. For more information on the artist's technique, look up cross-hatching.
