This sketch shows a woman wearing a tall, pointy hat and a dark dress. Her face is blurred, but you can see her hands tucked into her pockets. Behind her, there’s a rough drawing of a building and some scribbled lines that look like trees or plants. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and personality. This style was common in the places where artists and performers hung out at the time. Check out lithography to see how this print was made.
