This sketch shows a woman bent over, scrubbing a floor with a brush. She’s wearing a loose dress and a headscarf, and there’s a bucket and mop beside her. The lines are quick and rough, like a hurried sketch. The artist focused on movement and effort, not details. The loose strokes make it feel real and busy, like a moment caught fast. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this style.
