About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long red dress and white apron, holding a stick like a pointer. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s wearing a blue collar under a white blouse. The background is plain, and the drawing looks quick, almost like a note in a book. The handwriting above says "Sunday 22 June" and mentions "Kvinde i fransk(?) nationaldragt," meaning "Woman in French(?) national dress." The question mark hints the artist wasn’t sure about the outfit’s origin. Next, check out Romanticism to see how artists used everyday scenes to tell bigger stories.
