About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, loose dress with a blue underskirt and a wide-brimmed hat. Her sleeves are rolled up, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The background is plain, with just a hint of light blue and some faint writing on the page. The date and place written in the corner say "Lausanne 24 June 1845," which might hint at where she was drawn. The loose, quick brushstrokes give it a sketchy, unfinished feel. If you like this style, look up Romanticism.
