A Woman Reclining on a Cushion is a 1828 ink by George Jones, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman lying on her side on a soft cushion. Her hair is loose, and she rests her head on one hand while her other arm stretches out behind her. The lines are loose and quick, with some areas filled in with dense, crisscrossed strokes. The artist used pen and brown ink, layering lines to create shadows and texture. The paper has a slightly rough, textured look, which adds to the sketchy feel. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build up tone with lines.
