This sketch shows a woman in a long, dark dress with a big, dramatic cape. Her skirt flares out wide, and she’s holding something small in her right hand. The drawing is mostly black and white, with some light shading on her face and dress. The artist’s signature "Carven" is in the corner, and the number "64" is written next to it. The loose, sketchy lines give it a quick, lively feel—like a fashion sketch rather than a finished portrait. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
