About this work

This drawing shows a woman lying in bed, dressed in simple clothing. The woman is a nun, which is interesting because it gives us a glimpse into the life of someone devoted to their faith. The details in the drawing are simple, yet they tell us a lot about the subject. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of cross-hatching.
