About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a dark blue outfit with a wide-brimmed hat. The suit has a fitted jacket, a cinched waist, and long, straight legs. Her pose is casual, with one hand in her pocket and the other resting on her hip. The drawing looks quick and loose, with some areas filled in using small, repeated lines. The name "Pensée" is written in the top right corner. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build up tones with lines.
