About this work

This sketch shows a person lying down. Their body is loose and relaxed, arms bent under their head. The lines are quick and wobbly, like they were drawn fast. The artist didn’t finish the face or hands—just rough strokes. This was a practice piece, not a final work. Next, check out lithography to see how artists make prints like this.
