About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple, matching jacket and pants. The outfit is dark with a dotted pattern, and her hair is pulled back neatly. She’s standing straight, holding her hands loosely at her sides. The sketch is loose and quick, with light pencil lines. The focus is on the shape of the clothes, not the details.
