This sketch shows a woman in a long dress and hood, kneeling by a window. Outside, faint shapes suggest a city or landscape. The lines are loose and dark, with no clear colors—just shadows and light. The artist used simple shapes to show her quiet moment. The drawing looks like it was made quickly, with lots of cross-hatching for texture. Check out James McNeill Whistler for more works like this.
