About this work

This drawing shows a person sitting on a chair with their arms raised. Their head is covered, and they’re wrapped in a loose cloth. The background looks like a mix of fabric folds and shadows, making it hard to tell what’s real. The artist used a scratchy, sketchy style that feels almost like a quick study. The lines are uneven, giving it a raw, unfinished look. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
