About this work

The painting depicts a woman in a long dress with a full skirt, her hands on her hips. She wears a white sleeveless top with a floral design and brown gloves that reach up to her elbows. Her dark hair is styled in an updo, and she has red lips. The background is off-white. The woman's dress is a mix of brown and white, with a full skirt that appears to be made of layers of fabric. Her gloves add a touch of elegance to her overall appearance. The painting's style is reminiscent of fashion illustrations from the mid-20th century. This painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
