About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, gray dress with a belt at the waist. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The lines are simple but confident, focusing on the shape of the clothing. The name "Verveine" is written in the corner, likely the title. The drawing looks like it was made quickly, with light strokes and no extra details. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
