About this work

This sketch shows three women in a garden. One sits on a bench, holding a hat. Another stands, wearing a long dress and holding a fan. The third woman leans against her, looking down. The trees behind them are drawn with quick, wavy lines. The artist used a technique where ink sits in scratched lines, creating a textured look. The faces are simple but expressive, with big eyes and soft shapes. Check out etching to see how artists like this create layered lines.
