About this work

This sketch shows a seated person wrapped in a heavy coat with a hood pulled up. Their hands rest on their lap, and the face is drawn with quick, dark lines that make it look serious. The paper has a grainy texture, and the edges of the clothing are fuzzy, like the artist was in a hurry. The artist used a technique called etching to create this image. The lines are sharp but uneven, which gives it a raw, sketchy feel. Look up etching to see how artists use acid and metal plates to make prints.
