About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a wide-brimmed hat and a long coat, walking with a small dog. The lines are loose and quick, like they were drawn fast. Behind her, an umbrella tilts sideways in the rain. The artist used a simple tool—just pencil-like marks on paper—to create this scene. It looks like they were working fast, maybe outside in the rain. Next, check out lithography to see how artists make prints like this one.
