About this work

This sketch shows a woman with long, messy hair covering her face. She’s holding a cigarette, looking slightly off to the side. The paper around her seems torn or crumpled, with just a hint of pink on her cheeks and lips. The artist used a mix of ink and raised lines to make parts of the image stand out. It’s like the paper itself is part of the drawing. Check out lithography to see how artists use smooth stones and ink to create prints like this.
