This sketch shows a woman holding a child close. The woman’s face is blurred, and her dark hair is pulled back. She wears a light dress with dark trim at the wrists, and the child leans against her shoulder. The painting is loose and sketchy, with soft edges and faint lines. It looks like it was done quickly, maybe as a practice or a rough draft. Next, check out Wilkie, David RA (Sir) for more of his work.
