About this work

This painting shows a woman at a well, drawn with pen and brown ink on paper. She's the main figure, with simple lines and shading. The artist used simple techniques to create depth, which is interesting because it was done with limited tools, the drawing has a quiet, intimate feel, with the woman lost in thought. You can learn more about this style by looking at the technique: cross-hatching.
