About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, dark coat with thick blue stripes. The coat has a high collar and buttons down the front, and she’s holding a small object in her right hand. Her hair is short and pulled back, and she’s wearing simple earrings. The name *Vincent* is written in the top-right corner, but we don’t know who that refers to. The sketch looks loose and quick, like it was done in a hurry. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
