About this work

This drawing shows a woman holding a small child, both seated. The paper is old and torn, with rough edges. The lines are simple but expressive, and the woman’s face has a calm, gentle look. The drawing uses thin, sketchy lines to build up the shapes. The paper itself looks worn, like it’s been handled a lot over time. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
