This sketch shows a person in profile, wearing a headscarf and a high-collared shirt. The lines are loose and sketchy, with quick brushstrokes that leave some areas rough. The face is turned slightly away, and the background is plain white. The artist used a technique called lithography, which lets them draw directly on a flat stone or plate. This makes the lines look more like pencil or charcoal than paint. Check out lithography to see how it works.
