About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, flowing dress holding a bouquet of flowers tucked into her skirt. She stands sideways, one hand resting on her hip, looking slightly to the side with a calm expression. The background is plain, letting her outfit and the flowers stand out clearly. The artist used soft watercolors to keep the scene simple and natural. The folds of her dress are gently shaded, giving it a light, airy feel. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
