About this work

This drawing shows a woman sitting at a table, her face half-hidden by her hand. Next to her is a tall, empty vase and a folded hat. Outside the window, a dark shape looks like a tree or a person standing in shadow. The artist used simple shapes and bold lines to keep things clear and slightly dreamy. The light comes from the top left, making the woman’s hair glow. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists print these kinds of images.
