About this work

This sketch shows a woman drawn in simple lines on rough paper. She’s turned slightly to the side, with dark hair and a few dots for jewelry. The paper is worn and torn, making the lines look faint. The back of the paper has quick, messy drawings of an elephant and other animals. It feels like a fast, rough study—not polished at all. If you like this kind of quick, sketchy art, look up Baroque.
