You see a woman wearing a mask in this drawing. She's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The mask is the most interesting thing about her - it's not clear why she's wearing it. The drawing is pretty detailed, with lots of lines and shading. The woman's face is mostly hidden, which makes you wonder about her. Check out the technique of cross-hatching to learn more about how this drawing was made.
