About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, green dress with a wide skirt and a fitted top. Her sleeves are snug, and the dress has a simple neckline. The skirt is drawn with bold black lines that make the folds look sharp and clean. She stands with her hands clasped in front of her, wearing a small hat. The artist used quick, confident strokes to sketch the dress, focusing on its shape rather than details. The green color is bright and flat, with no shading to soften it.
