This sketch shows a woman standing with one hand on her hip and the other near her face. Her long hair falls over her shoulders, and she wears a loose, flowing dress that reaches the floor. The lines are rough and quick, giving the drawing a raw, unfinished look. The artist used a simple tool to create this image—just pencil-like marks on a smooth surface. The shading is light, with some darker smudges for shadows. If you like this style, look up lithography next to see how it works.
