This sketch shows a woman with her head tilted down, looking at something in her lap. She’s wearing a fancy hat with big feathers and a high collar. Behind her, a window with wooden shutters lets in a little light. The artist focused on quick, loose lines to show her hair and clothes, almost like they’re moving. The hat and feathers look especially detailed compared to the rest. Next, check out lithography to see how artists like this made prints with smooth stone and ink.
