This painting shows a woman sitting with her legs crossed, wearing glasses and a dark top. Her body is drawn in bold black lines, but her face stays soft and blurry. Below her, three small boxes show simple stick-figure drawings of women in similar poses. The artist used thick black lines to define shapes, but left the background and skin areas plain. This makes the figures stand out sharply against the light gray. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
