This sketch shows a woman standing sideways, dressed in a loose, light green pullover and matching pants. Her hair is short and wavy, and she’s wearing low-heeled shoes. In the top-left corner, there’s a small green fabric swatch with a textured pattern. The artist used quick, confident lines to capture her pose and outfit, focusing on simple shapes. The swatch suggests they might have been testing colors or fabrics. Look up felt next to see how this material was used in fashion.
