This sketch shows a woman in a long, loose dress with a checkered pattern. Her sleeves are rolled up, and she has one hand on her hip. The drawing is mostly black and white, with a few light brown and beige strokes to add shape and shadow. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture the dress’s flow and the woman’s pose. The name "Rascasse" is written in the corner, which might be the dress’s design name. Next, look up womenswear to see how fashion has shaped art over time.
