About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, long dress with a deep V-neck. Her hair is drawn in loose, wavy lines on top of her head. The drawing is light and quick, with soft shading on the dress and arms. The name "Mont d'Arbois" is written in the corner, and there’s a small sketch of legs and a face in the bottom right. The style feels loose and free, like a quick study. If you like this sketchy style, look up cross-hatching next.
