This sketch shows a woman sitting at a table, holding a small glass. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a dark dress with a high collar. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a hasty drawing. The artist used a simple, sketchy style to capture her pose and expression. The background is barely there, keeping all the focus on her. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
