About this work

This sketch shows a woman with a long, flowing dress and a wide-brimmed hat. Her arms are raised, and her face has a soft, smiling expression. The lines are loose and quick, with some areas blurred as if sketched fast. The artist used shading to suggest movement, especially in the dress and hat. The background is nearly empty, keeping focus on the figure. Next, check out Troy Kinney (American, 1871–1938) to see more of his work.
