This sketch shows a woman in a long, ruffled dress holding a closed umbrella. She’s standing in a garden with tall plants and flowers around her. The lines are loose and quick, almost like scribbles, giving it a rough, sketchy feel. The artist used shading to show light and shadow, making the dress and plants look textured. The woman’s face is simple but expressive, with a slight smile. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this shading technique works.
