About this work

This sketch shows a person lounging in a chair, legs stretched out and arms resting. The background is simple—a few quick lines for a table and a vase. The drawing is loose and fast, with light pencil strokes and some darker shading on the chair and body. The artist focused on the body’s relaxed pose, almost like a quick study. The lines are rough but confident, showing movement without much detail. If you like this sketchy style, look up *chiaroscuro* next.
