About this work

This image shows a drawing of a woman in a black dress, with a white hat and gloves. She is facing to the left, with her right leg slightly bent and her left arm extended downward. The dress is knee-length, with a wide skirt and a belt around the waist. The background is a light beige color. The drawing is done in a simple style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The artist has used a range of techniques to create texture and depth, including cross-hatching and stippling. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication. The drawing is held at the Museum of Ethnography. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's technique, you might want to look up cross-hatching.
