This sketch shows a person sitting on a low surface, legs bent to one side. The lines are loose and quick, focusing on the body’s shape and movement. There’s no detail in the face—just a few marks for eyes and hair. The artist used a drypoint technique, which means they scratched lines into a metal plate to create the image. The result is a sketchy, almost sketch-like feel. If you like this style, look up drypoint to see how it works.
