About this work

This sketch shows a woman with her arms raised, dressed in a loose, flowing robe with hints of blue and green. Behind her, a man’s head is barely visible—just his face, with a beard and a fierce look. The background is rough and blurry, mostly browns and reds, like it was drawn fast or left unfinished. The woman’s pose looks dramatic, like she’s caught in a moment of surprise or power. The artist used quick, sketchy lines—no smooth shapes here. Want to see more by this artist? Check out Iser, Iosif.
