About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, striped dress and coat. The lines are clean and the colors muted—mostly browns and tans. Her posture is relaxed, with one hand resting at her side and the other slightly forward. The outfit looks practical, with a belt at the waist and a modest neckline. The artist used quick, confident strokes to define the fabric’s folds. The stripes run horizontally across the dress, giving it a textured look without much detail. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
