About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, dark dress with a wavy pattern all over it. She’s wearing a hat and holding a small bag in her right hand. The lines are quick and simple, like a quick sketch. The word *Tangage* is written at the top—it’s French for "swinging" or "swaying," which might hint at how the dress moves. The artist used loose brushstrokes to show fabric texture.
