The painting shows a girl wearing a bonnet, reclining on a surface. She's drawn with simple lines and gentle curves. The artist used pen and ink to create this sketch, which is pretty detailed. This sketch is interesting because it's a quick drawing, likely made to practice or warm up. The girl's face is relaxed, and her body is posed in a calm way. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: cross-hatching.
