Sketch from Life 1870

"Sketch from Life" is a simple pencil drawing by the Spanish artist Santiago Rusiñol, created in 1870. The artwork depicts a figure in profile, likely a study from life, with the subject's body and clothing sketched with loose, gestural lines. It is a quick and spontaneous work that captures the essence of the figure through its simple yet expressive lines. The drawing embodies the spirit of realism that was prevalent in the latter part of the 19th century.
