About this work

This sketch shows a woman standing sideways, holding a long tool like a broom or pole. She wears a hat with a wide brim and a loose dress. The lines are rough and scratchy, like they were drawn quickly. The artist used a technique that lets them press ink into grooves carved into a metal plate. This makes the lines look uneven and textured. Look up etching to see how it works.
