This print shows a woman in profile, wearing a tall black hat with a wide brim. Her hair is pulled back under it, and she holds a fan in one hand. The background is plain, but her clothing has bold patterns in blues and whites. A single flower is tucked into her hair near her ear. The artist used sharp lines and simple colors to focus on her face and gesture. The fan’s design is detailed, but the rest stays flat and clean. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build depth with lines.
