This sketch shows a woman’s head and shoulder turned slightly to the side. Her hair is short and curly, and she has a serious expression. The drawing is loose and quick, with soft pink and brown tones. The artist left some lines unfinished, like the collar of her dress. The paper has a warm, aged look, and the sketch feels like a quick study. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build up details with lines.
