About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long dress with a high collar and a draped shawl. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands against a dark, textured background with floating circles of light. The lines are loose and sketchy, giving it a rough, unfinished feel. The circles above her head might hint at something symbolic, but it’s not clear what. The artist signed it in the corner, and the paper has a worn look. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how it’s made.
