About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long red dress with a fitted bodice and flared skirt. She holds a small white fan in one hand and has a few loose wisps of hair framing her face. The lines are bold and confident, with some areas left plain white. The artist uses quick, sketchy strokes to suggest fabric folds and movement. The red dress stands out against the light background, making it the focus. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
