About this work

This drawing, titled 'Plazza,' features a woman in a black dress with a high neckline and short sleeves. The dress is cinched at the waist with a bow, and the woman's right hand is raised to her face. The drawing is rendered in black ink on a beige background. The woman's face is not fully visible, but her posture suggests a sense of elegance and poise. The simplicity of the drawing belies the attention to detail in the folds of the dress and the subtle expression on the woman's face. The drawing is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
