About this work

This sketch shows a woman sitting in a chair, holding a small object in her hands. She’s dressed in a high-necked blouse and a long skirt with a flower or bow on the lapel. The lines are loose and quick, with dark ink against a light background. The artist used a printmaking method called aquatint, which creates soft, shaded tones. This makes the drawing look more like a quick sketch than a polished portrait. Next, look up aquatint to see how this technique works.
