About this work

This sketch shows a seated woman with her back to us, head turned slightly. Her body is angled, one arm resting on her knee, the other behind her. The lines are loose and scratchy, almost like quick notes. The background is just a tangle of marks—no details, just texture. The artist signed it "Walt Kuhn" in the corner, along with a title that’s crossed out. The whole thing feels rough, like it was made fast. The paper has a worn look, too. If you like this style, check out etching to see how artists use ink and metal plates.
