About this work

This sketch shows a woman resting her chin on her hand, looking off to the side. She’s dressed in a high-necked dress with lace trim, and her hair is pulled back neatly. Behind her, a window with curtains lets in faint light. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to capture her thoughtful pose. The drawing feels more like a quick study than a polished portrait.
