This sketch shows a woman in a long, checkered dress and a fancy hat. She’s holding a cane and looking off to the side, like she’s in mid-step. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a sketch. The artist used a simple greenish tint on the paper, which makes the whole thing look faded. It’s not super detailed—just enough to show her pose and clothes. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists make prints like this.
