This sketch shows an older woman in a long, loose robe and headscarf. She’s holding a small bowl with one hand, like she’s collecting coins or food. Her other hand rests on a cane, and her bare feet peek out from the bottom of her dress. The lines are sharp and the shadows simple, giving her a tired but steady look. This style was common in prints from the time. Next, check out Baroque to see how artists used drama and movement in their work.
