This sketch shows a woman’s face and shoulders. Her hair is pulled back under a dark headwrap, and her clothes are simple but detailed. The colors are mostly soft blues, grays, and browns, with some darker shadows on her collar. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, almost like a quick sketch. The face looks calm but not polished—it feels like it was drawn fast. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow.
