About this work

This sketch shows a seated woman from behind, her body turned slightly to the side. Her hair is pulled up, and she leans on one arm. The lines are loose and quick, focusing on shapes and shadows rather than fine details. The artist used pencil strokes to suggest volume and light, almost like scribbles that still feel solid. This style was common in studies artists did before painting. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build up tone with lines.
