About this work

This sketch shows a person’s face turned slightly away, with messy, wavy hair falling over their forehead. The lines are loose and quick, like the artist drew fast. The whole image is in shades of gray on a gray-green background, with no strong colors. The rough strokes make the hair look almost alive, as if it’s moving. This style fits the Impressionist idea of capturing a moment, not perfect details. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
