About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, fitted dress with a dark blue checkered pattern. The dress has a high collar, three-quarter sleeves, and a belt at the waist. Her hair is short and neatly styled, and she’s standing sideways with one leg slightly forward. The drawing includes a small back view of the dress, showing its clean lines and lack of extra details. The artist’s handwriting in the top right corner reads “Bougival.” Check out the museum: Museum of Ethnography to see where this sketch is kept.
