You see a woman sitting in a chair, looking straight ahead. She's dressed in simple clothes and the room is plain. The artist used simple lines to draw her, which makes her seem calm. The woman in the picture is Annie, and she was important to the artist. He drew her many times, trying to get her just right. This picture is special because it shows how the artist practiced his skills. You can learn more about the artist's techniques by looking into the technique of etching.
