About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple, stylish outfit. She’s wearing a dark blue jacket with thick vertical lines and a matching skirt with a gathered hem. Her pose is relaxed, with one hand resting on her hip and her head slightly tilted. The artist used bold, clean lines to create the fabric’s texture, especially on the jacket. The face is simplified, with just a few strokes for the eyes and mouth. If you like this style, check out more about cross-hatching.
