This sketch shows a woman’s face in profile, her hair pulled back but a few loose strands framing her cheek. The lines are loose and quick, with dark shading around her eyes and jaw, while the skin stays mostly light. The paper has a rough texture, and the strokes look hurried, like the artist was working fast. The artist focused on shadows and light to shape her features—notice how the dark hair blends into the background. This style was common in late 19th-century American art.
