About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, loose outfit with wide-legged pants and a short jacket. She’s wearing a cap and holding her jacket sleeve with one hand. The lines are quick and dark, with some light shading on her face and arms. The word *Octobre* is written in the top right corner, maybe hinting at a season or time. The drawing looks like it was made fast—no tiny details, just the main shapes. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
