About this work

This drawing shows two women with long, wavy hair and soft faces. One woman looks up with a calm expression, while the other’s face is hidden. The background is blurry with swirling shapes and faint outlines of people or objects, like a dreamy, smoky scene. The artist used smooth, blended lines to create a gentle, almost floating effect. The whole piece feels quiet and mysterious, like a moment frozen in time. Want to see more? Check out lithography to learn how artists create prints like this.
