This sketch shows a woman with a long neck and sharp features, her face turned slightly away. She wears a dark dress that fades into the background, leaving just her outline and a hint of her body. The lines are loose and sketchy, almost like a quick drawing. The artist focused on her expressive face and strong posture, making her look intense. The olive-green color gives it a faded, almost ghostly feel. Look up lithography to see how artists like Lautrec made prints like this.
